Sleigh Ride

From an old hick town not far away 
I hear an almost noiseless sleigh 
I wondered what its all about 
Until I heard their voices shout 
To the town hall I hear them say 
To the Ball that's there all night we'll stay 

While a mid-twenties sailor aboard  
ship in the Pacific Ocean 
during World War II, young sailors 
turned to Peter to help them write 
letters to their sweethearts back home 
such as:

I Love You
I love you Miss Nicely so very much
When I go to bed nightly you're within touch
With my head on my pillow
Thoughts of you in my head
I close my eyes lightly
I'm happy in bed

This fellow married the young  
lady when war ended
