(Verse 1):
Back in '42, when the world was at war,
Lynn kissed Arlene, promising to love her forevermore.
Off to distant lands, with a soldier's fate,
Leaving behind his heart, praying she'd wait.
(Chorus):
From the shores of Normandy, where the battles raged on,
Lynn fought for his country, but his heart belonged at home.
Through the gunfire and the fear, Arlene's love kept him strong,
Guiding him back to her, where he knew he belonged.
(Verse 2):
In '45, November's chill brought him home at last,
To the open arms of Arlene, the love that never passed.
They wed in October, on a golden autumn day,
Turning an old schoolhouse into a home, where their love would stay.
(Chorus):
From the shores of Normandy, where the battles raged on,
Lynn fought for his country, but his heart belonged at home.
Through the gunfire and the fear, Arlene's love kept him strong,
Guiding him back to her, where he knew he belonged.
(Bridge):
On the North Dakota plains, they built their life anew,
Raising five kids with laughter, and the skies so blue.
Through the highs and lows, their love never waned,
Lynn and Arlene, their legacy sustained.
(Verse 3):
Now they've passed, but their love remains,
In the stories told, and in memories gained.
Hand in hand they lived, through every twist and bend,
Loving each other until the very end.
(Chorus):
From the shores of Normandy, where the battles raged on,
Lynn fought for his country, but his heart belonged at home.
Through the gunfire and the fear, Arlene's love kept him strong,
Guiding him back to her, where he knew he belonged.
(Outro):
In the fields of North Dakota, their spirits still roam,
Lynn and Arlene's love, forever their home.
Through war and peace, their love transcends,
A timeless tale of Lynn and Arlene, forever friends.
