 Back in '41, you met  brown-eyed boy
  called you pretty
 He'd  every day, couple miles out of his way
  hold your hand and keep you company
 Your mama said, don't call it love at 
 But sittin' on that  porch swing
 
 He gave you  picture in a locket
 That  wore around your neck
 Left it right  your heart
 So you would not 
 The  it felt when he held your hand
 And you swore  you would never take it off
 And the butterflies you felt  it all
 You were falling for the  inside your locket
 
 Back in '43, the  boy went overseas
 And had to leave town for a  while
 He swore  marry you
 As  as the war was through
  would be his wife
 Standing  the pouring rain
 You cried as  watched him ride away
 
 But everyday
 You had his picture in  locket
 That you  around your neck
 Left it right beside your heart  you would not forget
 The  his kiss tasted on your lips
 And  felt like a lifetime with him gone
 And you prayed that  would bring him safely home
 'Cause you  a promise
 To the boy inside  locket
 
 Oh, 60 years you two  together
  he's been gone for a couple now
  it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
 But I've been writing all  memories down
 And I stopped  today
 To read a couple 
 Grandma, you sure  pretty
 And  smiled that smile
 The one  haven't seen in quite a while
 And  said to me, I want you to keep
 
 His picture in a locket that I wore around  neck
  one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
 The greatest love  the greatest man
 I've ever known
 But it's gettin' time for me to head on 
  said, that brown-eyed boy is waiting
 And I don't  to keep him long
 Heaven is calling
 And she said, my heart  longing
 For  boy inside your locket
