Just To Watch Her Pass By
She's Coming, She's Coming!
the little boy cried...
As the Grandfather stood
to watch Her with pride.
That flowing cloth
so loved by all,
Brought a tear to his eye
as he recalled
The land that she stood for
and just where she had been;
His patriotism and love
overflowed from within.
Why do you cry?
The young boy asked,
She's beautiful Grandpa
flying up on the mast..
You're right my son
what you say is so true
Just feeling my love
for our dear Red, White and Blue!
