I am flying home from Frankfurt, I am sitting next to Leslie   In the Air Force stationed overseas for 57 days   Fueling US airplanes that had stopped off in Bulgaria   And now she's headed home to see her babies      Across the aisle Marines are talking, I turn my head, they're flashing   Documents of service, words like purple by their names   The movie screen's a video of Elvis Presley's daughter   Singing something about Memphis while a car goes up in flames      I'm curious to know what Leslie thinks about the war   But all she talks about is going home, she's going home   She's looking forward   I'm looking sideways      Just spent a week in Germany, I hadda change my diet   There were many late night conversations, cigarettes, and beer   Playing music, foreign films, Iraq and what the Germans   Thought about the U.S. going over there      I look around, Leslie's got some headphones and a CD   Her head is swaying side to side, the cover's in her lap   "Moonlight Piano Favorites," she starts to snap her fingers   And I just stop and take a look at that      Can you picture Leslie as her thumb and fingers snap   If these "Moonlight Piano Favorites" turn a soldier into that      Then I'm sending off some headphones to leaders everywhere   With some "Moonlight Piano Favorites"   And a prayer
