Remembering Songtext
He always remembered December '41
They bombed Pearl Harbor and the big war had begun
They sent a country boy to Europe with a gun
And he always remembered December '41

And he always remembered the day they hit the beach
God knows he saw things that no one should ever see
He couldn't bring himself to tell it all to me
But he always remembered the day they hit the beach
I hope that they don't make men like my grandpa anymore
Go off to battle on some foreign, distant shore
A lifetime of nightmare's of the hell they called the war
I hope that they don't make men like my grandpa anymore

And she always remembered the day that he got home
The boy she kissed goodbye to years ago was gone
She said a heart of gold had hardened into stone
And she always remembered the day that he got home

And I'll always remember June of '85
The first time that I ever saw some real peace in his eyes
He told me and daddy I can't wait to see those guys
And I'll always remember the day my grandpa died

I hope that they don't make men like my grandpa anymore
Go off to battle on some far and distant shore
A lifetime of nightmare's of the hell they called the war
I hope that they don't make men like my grandpa anymore
