Lyrics
The Spine (throughout) A man takes off from an airfield and he's a'soaring very far from home 'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky He's homesick and he knows it'll be a long time till he's done and he's got a beautiful girl waiting at home

He opens up a letter from her. She writes, here's a color picture of me (a pretty picture) Just head towards my blue eyes, when you're finding your way back to me


 * Chorus:

Well, That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll That'll be the way home Yes, That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll That'll be the way home

Straight through the sky headed towards her blue eyes

A lieutenant of the Navy took his very first steps today Onto the ship that would become his new home He and his wife had shared a very special goodbye when they kissed in the night underneath a star of their own

As the lieutenant gazed up and saw their star shining bright (oh so bright) He knew it would guide him home when the time was right


 * (Chorus)

Starin' into the night Keeping their star in sight

All you infantry men and you riveting gals don't ever need to give up hope all you doctors, and nurses, and engineers need not worry for long If we all look towards what we miss most and keep that drive in our heart


 * (Chorus)
