Lord let me be good enough   to save others...hear my plea   if you've got room for one more soul   you might as well save me   you might as well save me      I'm a jumper with the 508th   just a kid in the first degree   but the fear can turn you older than   any boy has a right to be   I said.."Billy it's too dark up here..   I'll see you on the ground"   then I felt the tap on the back of my leg   and Billy was never found      Has it really been 60 years?   Has it really been that long?   hard to believe there was a time   that I was ever that strong      I could see the tracers from 600 feet   reminded me of home   those July the 4th summer nights   me and my girl....all alone   me and my girl....all alone      I hit the ground and tumbled   fought to cut my harness away   felt like the last GI on the earth   on what you all call D-Day   I can see it now over my shoulder   for many miles have I roamed   but at the time I was fighting   just to find my way home      Has it really been 60 years?   Has it really been that long?   hard to believe there was a time   that I was ever that strong      Now I think about what we did   and what we're doing today   and I wonder what Billy would think   to see it all wasting away   to see it all wasting away      Has it really been 60 years?   Has it really been that long?   hard to believe there was a time   that I was ever that strong
