That Little Tune You Taught Me

Intro

When the dark clouds roll in...

I hear your voice again...

Verse 1

The cannons roar across the mud and rain,

And every shadow brings a sudden pain.

But when the noise is more than I can bear,

I find the tune you left inside my care.

Chorus

That little hum you taught me back at home,

It keeps me sane wherever I may roam.

While all around, the world is breaking down,

Your simple song is still the sweetest sound.

Verse 2

I hum it low inside my foxhole dark,

A tiny flame to chase away the spark.

It carries me across the ocean wide,

And for a moment, you are at my side.

Chorus

That little hum you taught me back at home,

It keeps me sane wherever I may roam.

While all around, the world is breaking down,

Your simple song is still the sweetest sound.

Interlude

"Honey... you know, out here when the night gets loud and the thunder won't stop, a fellow can lose his mind real easy. It gets so cold, and you start to forget what peace ever felt like. But then I remember that afternoon on your porch... just before I shipped out. You leaned in close and hummed that soft, sweet melody into my ear. When things get at their worst, I just close my eyes and hum those same few notes to myself.. and suddenly, the battle fades away, and I'm right back home with you."

Chorus

That little hum you taught me back at home,

It keeps me sane wherever I may roam.

While all around, the world is breaking down,

Your simple song is still the sweetest sound.

Outro

Still the sweetest sound...

Mm-mm-mm-mm...
