Yellow ribbons 'round the trees
fluttering gaily in the breeze
bring my soldier back to me
fighting for to keep me free.

Yellow ribbons 'round the trees
warm while the soldiers freeze
in the winter air of night
keeping him safe for first light

Yellow ribbons 'round the trees
Lord, keep my soldier safe please.
Hold him in your hand all day
keep him there, guide his way.

Yellow ribbons 'round the trees
mingled with the falling leaves
My soldier's been gone far too long
Help me and him, stay living, strong.

It's a little unfinished, but I ran out of time & was running shy on rhymes.
