Set Aside Your Tears 1917

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Jul 2005

Mothers, wives and sweethearts true
Hearken one and all.
Those you love have gone away,
to answer duty's call.
I see a teardrop in your eye,
you sadly weep and sigh
as they are brave,
let us be brave,
make this our battle cry.

Set aside your tears for laughter,
till the boys come marching home,
for we'll all be happy after
they return from 'cross the foam.
Let us pray for fair weather,
for the ones who dared to roam
set aside your tears for laughter
till the boys come marching home.

Set aside your tears for laughter,
till the boys come marching home,
for we'll all be happy after
they return from 'cross the foam.
Let us pray for fair weather,
for the ones who dared to roam
set aside your tears for laughter
till the boys come marching home.

There are those who cannot go,
but still their hearts beat true,
what they do at home will show;
their loyalty to you.
For ev'ryone can help the cause,
there is so much to do,
if in your heart,
you've done your part,
then you're a hero, too.

Set aside your tears for laughter,
till the boys come marching home,
for we'll all be happy after
they return from 'cross the foam.
Let us pray for fair weather,
for the ones who dared to roam
set aside your tears for laughter
till the boys come marching home.

Set aside your tears for laughter,
till the boys come marching home,
for we'll all be happy after
they return from 'cross the foam.
Let us pray for fair weather,
for the ones who dared to roam
set aside your tears for laughter
till the boys come marching home.
