  • 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

    And 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're 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
    And running through your head the questions why

    As 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

    And 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
    It's 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
