Take Me With You, Soldier Boy (1943) Lyrics

[Written for 1943 film version, not used.]

Take me with you, soldier boy
Take me when you start
I won't take up too much space in your heart

I'll be with you, soldier boy
With you day and night
And I promise not to get in your way

I know there's a job to do but, somehow, you will find
A soldier does a better job with a girl on his mind

Let me be your lucky charm when you cross the sea
Someday, I'll return you safely to me
