Real often when I am all alone
My mind goes back to Bastogne
The men that lost their young lives
That back home had children and wives
Some there were very young too
Willing to give their blood and life for you
But the Germans found out for sure
That in rough times Americans can endure
There were many men that died there alone
But the Germans never could capture Bastogne
The Belgians could never ask for more
Than our men did in winter of forty four
But God has ways of helping me in the end
That is the cause of meeting Filip my friend
