When I had seen you

You were shining like a diamond in that dress

We were young and in love and reckless

We were just two kids

When I went and signed my name.

Now here I am

Just a few months later coming home to you

I'm flying with my brothers yeah we fought real hard

We're all packed up and headed home

And if you are reading this there'll come a time real soon

When family, friends and flowers fill the room.

And two men with starched white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

It's probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

Sending all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag.

Now look at you

You're roundin' out but babe you wear it well

A little boy or girl it's still too soon to tell

Wish I could be there now to hold you both

And if you are reading this you probably about to cry

Running through your head a questions why.

Has two men with starch white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

It's probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

Sending all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag.

It will sit here on the mantle

For many years to come

And every time you pass it by

I hope you feel my love.

Two men with starch white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

Probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

I'm sending all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag

Sending all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag.
