Soldier's Farewell to the City (04:05)
This Song is for all American Veterans. Throughout the history of the USA our men and women had to leave their Cities and Towns to fight in some foreign land for the freedom of other peoples (most of the time)Regardless of the politics of the times, these men and women always gave their best to perform their duty. The politicians wage wars but the soldiers are the ones who fight and die. That’s why they deserve our respect our support and our gratitude.

“Soldier’s farewell to the City”
Words and Music by: Daniel Klosek
On this summer night, everything seems so right
When the moon grows bright over my city
It’s such a quiet night, with the sky full of stars
While I walk you back home in my city
I’ll be going away, tomorrow at dawn
On a big grey Jet-Plane and I don’t know for how long
There’s no need for words, just hold my hand tight
While we walk down the streets …of my city… tonight
Everywhere I look, I see a friendly face
There’s someone smiling at me in my city
Everywhere I turn I see a familiar place
Every house, every stone in this city
There’s a small barber shop and the church standing high
The old bench in the park, where we kissed the first time
Let me see once more, all these familiar sites
While we walk down the streets… in my city …tonight
Everywhere I go and no matter how far
I see this change in the world all around us
There’s a rising Tide that’s coming our way
The dark clouds gather beyond the horizon
I’ll be going away, tomorrow at dawn
‘Cause I know that somehow we must weather this storm
But for now, don’t cry, just hold my hand tight
While we walk down the streets …of my city…tonight.
