TIE A YELLOW RIBBON DOWN THE OLD OAK TREE

This has been a favourite song of dad n mine when I was a kid... I really love the earlier-era's songs, bcos the lyrics are much more meaningful than the songs nowadays, n a has more simple yet nicer tune... Here's the lyric... Do read it! It's a nice story by itself! N y not sing along? The background music playing now is this song! Have fun! >=)

I'm coming home I've done my time
And I have to know what is or isn't mine
If you received my letter
Telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'd know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me

Oh tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Bus driver please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bare to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's all I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please

Oh tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see...

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old, the old oak tree!

I'm coming home!
