Love this song
Bob Ritchie
I'm going to play this for my Mom at her 100th Birthday Party! Sometimes she sings it to herself and to us. I always think of my Dad when she sings it. We could always tell that he loved her dearly & deeply! He carried her picture and a lock of her hair with him all through WWII. We still have it. I suspect many servicemen did that for their loved one too.
