(Verse 1):
Back in '42, December's cold embrace,
Lynn kissed his Arlene, tears upon her face.
Off to fight a war in a far-off land,
Leaving behind the girl who held his hand.
(Chorus):
Through the battles fought, and the nights so long,
Arlene's love for Lynn stayed strong.
In '45, November brought him back,
To the arms of his love, no longer under attack.
(Verse 2):
They wed in October, under harvest moon's light,
Turning an old schoolhouse into a home so right.
On North Dakota soil, they built their dream,
Raising five kids with laughter, and a love that gleamed.
(Chorus):
Through the battles fought, and the nights so long,
Arlene's love for Lynn stayed strong.
In '45, November brought him back,
To the arms of his love, no longer under attack.
(Bridge):
In the golden fields of wheat, their story unfolds,
Through hardships faced and stories told.
Hand in hand, they weathered every storm,
Lynn and Arlene, their love forever warm.
(Verse 3):
Now they've passed, but their love lives on,
In the hearts of their children, and in the dawn.
A legacy of love, a life well lived,
Lynn and Arlene, together they thrived.
(Chorus):
Through the battles fought, and the nights so long,
Arlene's love for Lynn stayed strong.
In '45, November brought him back,
To the arms of his love, no longer under attack.
(Outro):
In the quiet of the plains, where the prairie winds blow,
Lynn and Arlene's love, forever they'll know.
Through war and peace, their bond was tried,
A love that endures, in the Western sky.
