Guagliardi, Louis Persianoff, William Ohmer, Carl Stczin, Arthur golifude My friend have left me one by one, They've answered their country's call. The last has left me. He has gone, And left me with no friends at all. One is winging through the light blue sky, Just as some day I hope to. When he left, he hated to say good-bye . He just said, I'll be seeing you. Some day when htis war is ended, They'll all come safely back home, Those boys that I had befriended, Will have smashed Berlin, Tokyo and Rome!
