let my tears be still - josh abbott band lyrics

verse 1
my name is lieutenant colonel william todd.
i flew the 101st airborne in ’42.
you may think that you’ve met veterans like me before,
but you don’t have a clue.

verse 2
i flew korea in the war you probably forgot.
i gave 40 years of d-mn near all i got.
i watched some of my closest friends die on foreign land.
i still hear their screams at night.

chorus
so don’t you wipe away my tears.
i’ve earned them through all the years.
just let ’em roll down like a stream upon a hill.
let my tears be still.

verse 3
i met jean ann in a photograph in ’44.
i swore she’d be the girl to take my last name.
52 years p-ssed til the lord took her away,
but i still see jean everyday.

verse 4
at the end of my rope as i lay here in this bed.
thoughts and prayers of my family circle through my head.
i pray when the lord opens up the pearly gates wide
that i’ll see my jean standing there in the light
