It was written that I would love you   From the moment I opened my eyes   And the morning when I first saw you   Gave me life under calico skies      I will hold you for as long as you like   I'll hold you for the rest of my life      Always looking for ways to love you   Never failing to fight at your side   While the angels of love protect us   From the innermost secrets we hide      I'll hold you for as long as you like   I'll hold you for the rest of my life      Long live all us crazy soldiers   Who were born under calico skies   May we never be called to handle   All the weapons of war we despise      I'll hold you for as long as you like   I'll hold you for the rest of my life   I'll hold you for as long as you like   I'll hold you for the rest of my   For the rest of my life
