My Angel Of The Flaming Cross

On a home-bound transport,
As the sun was sinking low,
Stood a wounded soldier
Dreaming in the twilight's glow.
Visions of an angel
golden hair and eyes of blue.
Said a sailor lad "Why are you so sad"
Said the soldier "I'll tell you."

There's an angel over there
An angel from I know not where
Smiling sweetly thru her tears
She drove my bears away.
Little girl who nursed me thru,
I owe my life to you
Oh Come back,
Love that I found and lost
My Angel of the Flaming Cross.

When the war is over,
Many stories will be told,
Tales of war and romances
Tales that never can grow old.
Tales of heroes fighting
Tales of love and mercy tool
But best of all is the soldiers call,
Sweet Red Cross Girl to you.

There's an angel over there
An angel from I know not where
Smiling sweetly thru her tears
She drove my bears away.
Little girl who nursed me thru,
I owe my life to you
Oh Come back,
Love that I found and lost
My Angel of the Flaming Cross.
