Lyrics

I came back from the war in '07
My bride was laid to rest that very day
She had a palace reserved for her up in heaven
She left no note but I know what she'd say
And here it is
When you married me I thought I was your only
'Til the day the country called you away
I had nothing to keep from being sad and lonely
Just a photograph from our wedding day
Save a tear for those who stayed behind
And to their children be kind
Save a tear for those who kept their pain inside
Say a prayer for the brides
Yeah, all the pretty brides
All the pretty brides
I was home when the priest brought the letter
He reminded me of the day we were wed
The sadness in his voice went on forever
I never heard the words but I know what he said
And here it is
My dear I can't erase the grief you're facing
But you need to know the hero he was
His honor helped preserve a grateful nation
Oh he was brave and he believed in the cause
Save a tear for those who stayed behind
And to their children be kind
Save a tear for those who kept their pain inside
Say a prayer for the brides
Yeah, all the pretty brides
All the pretty brides
I came back from the war in '07
I was carried to the place I relate
I didn't know which road to take to get to heaven
But my bride was there and she'd show me the way
