Letra de The Locket

[Verse 1:]
Back in '41
You met a brown eyed boy who called you pretty
He'd walk everyday a couple miles out of his way
To hold your hand and keep you company

Your mama said
Don't call it love at 14
But sitting on that front porch swing

[Coro:]
He gave you his picture in a locket
That you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart
So you would not forget

The way it felt when he held your hand
And you swore that
You would never take it off
And the butterflies you felt
Said it all
You were falling with a boy
Inside your locket

[Verse 2:]
Back in '43
Your brown eyed boy went over seas
And had to leave town for a little while
He swore he'd marry you
As soon as the war was through
You would be his wife

Standing in the pouring rain
You cried as
You watched him ride away
But everyday

[Coro:]
You had his picture in a locket
That you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart
So you would not forget

The way his kiss tasted on your lips
And everyday felt like
A lifetime with him gone

And you prayed that
God would bring him safely home
Cause you made a promise to the boy
Inside your locket

[Verse 3:]
Oh, 60 years you two had together
And he's been gone for a couple now
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
And I've been writing all your memories down

And I stopped by today to read a couple pages
Grandma, you sure look pretty
And you smile that smile
The one I haven't seen
In quite a while
And you said to me
I want you to keep

[Coro:]
His picture in a locket that
I wore around my neck
The one I left beside my heart
So I would not forget

The greatest love
And the greatest man I've ever known
But it's getting time for me to head on home

She said
That brown eyed boy is waiting
And I don't wanna keep him long
Heaven is calling
And she said, my heart is longing
For the boy inside your locket
