(Ahhs)
 man takes off from an airfield 
 and he's a'soaring very far from home
 'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky
 He's homesick and he knows 
 it'll be a long time till he's done
 and he's got a beautiful girl 
 waiting at home

He opens up a letter from her. She writes, 
 here's a color picture of me
 (a pretty picture)
 Just head towards my blue eyes, 
 when you're finding your way back to me

Well,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home

Yes,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home

Straight through the sky
 headed towards her blue eyes

lieutenant of the Navy 
 took his very first steps today
 Onto the ship that would [bad word] his new home
 He and his wife 
 had shared a very special goodbye
 when they kissed in the night underneath 
 a star of their own

As the lieutenant gazed up 
 and saw their star shining bright
 (oh so bright)
 He knew it would guide him home 
 when the time was right

Well,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home

Yes,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home

Starin' into the night
 Keeping their star in sight

All you infantry men and you riveting gals
 don't ever need to give up hope
 all you doctors, and nurses, and engineers
 need not worry for long
 If we all look towards what we miss most
 and keep that drive in our heart

Well,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home

Yes,
 That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
 That'll be the way home
