A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
                    Bm              C
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.

And another day God will give her some.

And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
          C                                   G                              D
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,

Under the Stars and Stripes.
