A Special Song for Wanda

(Written by Harold Reid, Don Reid)



Wanda was alone at night while he was somewhere servin'

A Navy wife with too much spare time on her hands

His letters were a comfort and I think she really loved him

But paper words don't fill the space when someone needs a man.



And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda

Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine

And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia

I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.



Wanda gave me everything a body ever needed

But a body's needs will sometimes lead a soul to sin

She was only lonesome a wife on leave of duty

She went down in history and probably will again.



And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda

Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine

And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia

I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time.



I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time...
