Beautiful Yellow Ribbons

(Chorus)
The winds of war are blowing
and my love was called
The house, it is empty
Like all life was stalled
Mothers, friends, and lovers
Tying ribbons on the trees
Beautiful yellow ribbons
Blowing in the breeze

The flowers still bloom
But they’re not the same
And all I hear is the sound
Of your name, of your name
Oh, I will be loyal
My heart’s just for you
As you serve your country
As you were called to do, called to do

Chorus

My love is with you
As I kneel on the floor
I am praying like never before, never before
I’m praying for peace, with all my heart
Not wanting you so far apart from me
So take that yellow ribbon from the tree

Chorus
