Memorial Day

He always loved his Maker's Mark She'll pour a glass tonight And find a place where she can watch the sunset Until the evening lights There's a flag hanging on her front porch A little worn and frayed It's part of her tradition now Each Memorial Day He held her hand and then he said he loved her And he danced her around and 'round She sees the scene play in slow motion They said his body never was found His Sunday suit hangs in the closet She says it's just in case And she says a prayer for her missing soldier Each Memorial Day The doorbell rings and standing at the screen door Three soldiers in uniform She sees the scene play in slow motion She remembers closing the door He always loved his Maker's Mark She pours a glass tonight Then finds a place where she can watch the sunset Until the evening lights She makes a toast to the fallen soldiers And the MIA's And everyone they left behind Each Memorial Day Here comes the night Memorial Day Her glass held high Memorial Day
