Veterans' Day Lyrics - Singles - Admiral Twin

The doctor said with joy 

"A healthy baby boy" 

October 4th of 1925 

His parents had a plan 

He'd live a better life 

Be a man of means 

Who knows, he might go really far 

And then the days slipped by 

And turned into years 

And many pages turned in the story of his life 

Took a detour through a war 

Cast a shadow across his soul 

October 4th of 1944 

Stories he would never tell 

So he had to write them down to keep them captive 

On Veteran's Day he pulls them out 

It's a cleansing of the soul and a freeing of his mind 

He didn't change the world 

But he eventually met a girl 

Their child would be his only legacy 

And so he cried to God 

"It's not what I had planned 

And there's one more thing 

I'll never understand 

How did the days slip by 

When did they turn into years?" 

How many pages did you get for the story of your life? 

Call it what you will, name it tragedy 

But in the end he just looks back and smiles 

It's just his life
