Toby and Juan
Godfather.
Posts: 12,504
Softly and slowly the footsteps came to the door
And as she opened the door
I stood there wanting to be invited inside
To fill the holes in my soul and dry the tears that she cried.
All the days that she spent alone her home
She only remembers the name of one man when she prays
And she remembers the days when he would smile and say
Three more years and I’ll be coming home to stay
Then we can spend all of our days and nights together
And tell each other stories about life while I was a drift on the sea
And Ester you have to know I love you and think of you and kids everyday
But soon I’ll be coming home so tell the kids I’ll be home soon to stay.
Her friends all called her Toby because she grew up on the farm
Fourteen kids and everyone had to toe the line to make the farm a home
And to feed the family’s needs
So she worked hard and waited for her own life to begin .
Then one day she met him waiting in line at the old general store
He was handsome and sharp dressed up in his navy blues
When he asked her what her name was she could hardly say a word
But she managed to mumble Toby as she looked from the floor to his eyes
And they both knew they felt a love that they couldn’t hide
He said my name is Juan and I sail the seven seas
I fought in the big one cause my country needed me
I’ll make our life in the navy Toby if you will have me.
Well he fought in the big one and Korea then Vietnam too
He brought her home gifts from all over the world
And after three kids he told her I love you more everyday
And soon Toby I’ll be coming home to stay
Three more years and I’ll be coming home to stay
Then we can spend all of our days and nights together
And tell each other stories about life while I was a drift on the sea
And Ester you have to know I love you and think of you and kids everyday
But soon I’ll be coming home so tell the kids I’ll be home soon to stay.
On his way home from a deployment that he counted the days
To hold his wife and his kids and it was less than a day
Just a few short miles and his heart gave away
And his car went down a bank as he passed away.
And she remembered one name as she knelt and prayed
And she still remembers when he would smile and say
Just three more years Toby and I’ll be home to stay
