Lyrics
Annie met Luke in 1942
Before he went overseas to fight for the red, white and blue
They met that Spring and they were married by late June
He wrote her a letter on their wedding day
Said I hope these words bring you comfort on a rainy day
Just in case I don’t ever find my way back home to you, my dear
Well the war raged on with great tragedy
Luke stormed on the beaches of Normandy
He was shot down in the sands of Omaha Beach
And he laid there looking at the locket he kept
He whispered her name with his last dying breath
The words that he wrote in the letter on their wedding day
I’ll be your one, your tried and true
Your fearless heart that always longs for you
I’ll be your one waiting for you at the end of the world
Through all those miles and all those years
Through sickness and health, I’ll always love you, my dear
I’ll be your one waiting for you at the end of the world
Hope that I’ll find you standing in the light with me too
at the end of the world
I’ll be your one, your tried and true
Your fearless heart that always longs for you
I’ll be your one waiting for you at the end of the world
Through all those miles and all those years
Through sickness and health, I’ll always love you, my dear
I’ll be your one, waiting for you at the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world, my dear
At the end of the world
Yeah, at the end of the world
The end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world, my love
At the end of the world
Yeah, at the end of the world
