We’ll Do Our Share While You’re over There

Everyone wants a little sunshine
And we can make it come to stay
If we all help out one time
We'll drive the krauts away
Mothers are smiling and their longing
For those who are away
I know of one
Who wrote to her son
Hear what she has to say

"I'm over here
You're over there
And every night
I say a prayer
Oh, I can not be there
To say your trouble and cares
I hope you'll do your share
It will comfort me whole

You'll always be
"My baby" to me
In dreams I seem to see
You back on my knee
You know a victory must be won
And it's up to you my son
We'll do our share
While you're over there

I'm over here (over here)
You're over there (you're over there)
And every night (every night, every night)
I say this prayer (I say this prayer)
No I can not be there
To say your troubles and cares
I hope you do your share
It will comfort me whole

You'll always be (always be)
"My baby" to me
In dreams I see
Your back on my knee
You know a victory must be won
And it's up to you my son
We'll do our share
While you're over there
