Love Across the Sea

[Verse] In a war-torn Europe, where bullets and bombs roar, Charles met Joyce, a beauty he'd adore. 'Neath the smoky skies, their hearts took flight, An American soldier found love in the fight. [Verse 2] He'd whisper "Mississippi" as they'd dance in the rain, Talked of southern sunsets, and balmy skies again. Joyce with her laughter, and eyes so blue, Promised she'd follow, 'cause her heart just knew. [Chorus] From the battlegrounds of Europe to the fields so green, Love knows no boundaries, in places unforeseen. Charles and Joyce, two hearts so bold and free, Made a home in Mississippi, where love's meant to be. [Verse 3] They'd reminisce 'bout London, 'neath the old oak trees, By the riverbanks where the magnolia breathes. She'd speak of rainy days and cobblestone lanes, He'd tell tales of cotton fields and southern trains. [Bridge] The world had turned, war days long behind, Yet the love they shared stayed vivid in their mind. Through the simple mornings and starry nights, Charles and Joyce found new dreams in their sights. [Verse 4] Neighbors would gather, hear their story unfold, Of a soldier and a girl, their love pure gold. Through thick and thin, hand in hand they'd stand, Two hearts in Mississippi, under God's own hand.
