[G] [C]
[G] Back in 41, [Em]
you met a brown-eyed [C] boy who called you [G] pretty.
He'd walk every day, [Em]
a couple miles out of his way [C] to hold your hand and keep you company.
[G]
[Em] Your mama said [C] don't call it love [G] at 14, [Am] but sitting on [C] that front porch [D] swing,
he gave you [G] his picture, a ring that you wore around your neck,
left it [Em] right beside your heart so you would not forget [C] the way it felt when he held [G] your hand.
[C]
[G] And you swore that you would never take it off, [Em] and the butterflies you felt said it all.
And [C] you were falling for the boy inside [G] your locket.
[C]
[G] Back in 43, [Em] the brown-eyed boy went overseas [C] and had to leave town for a little [G]
while.
He swore he'd marry [Em] you as soon as the war was through.
[C] You would be his [G]
wife, [Em] standing in [C] the pouring [G] rain.
You [Am] cried [C] as you watched him ride [D] away.
But [C] every day, you had [G] his picture in your locket that you wore around your neck,
left [Em] it right beside your heart so you would not forget [C] the way his kiss tasted on your [G]
lips.
And every day felt like a lifetime with him gone.
And [Em] you prayed that God would bring him safely home.
[C] Cause you made a promise to the boy [G] inside your locket.
[Em] Oh, 60 years [C] you two had together, [G]
and he's been gone for a [D] couple now.
[Em] And it breaks my heart to see [C] you struggle to remember.
[G]
But I've been writing all [D] your memories down, and I [C] stopped by today [G] to read a couple pages.
[Em]
Grandma, you sure look pretty.
[C] And you smile, that [G] smile, [Am] the one I haven't seen in [C] quite a while.
And [D] you said to me, I want you to keep [G] his picture in your locket that I wore around my neck,
the [Em] one I left beside my heart, so I would not forget [C] the greatest love.
[G]
But it's getting time for me to head on home.
She [Em] said that brown-eyed boy's waiting and I don't want to keep him long.
[C]
Heaven is calling.
And she says, my [G] heart's longing for the boy [G] inside your [C] locket.
