The saddest sound
You'll ever hear,
Is a bugle playing Taps--
Each note hangs in the air.
A soldier gives their life
To save us from harm--
The order's given for a 21 gun
Salute--The Honor Guard presents arms.
The military gives one
Final honorary salute.
The flag is folded and given
To loved ones as a final tribute.
The entire service may be
A blur--your mind is numb.
All their military friends
Stand at attention.
You'll remember flashes,
There'll be some gaps--
But you'll always remember
The mournful sound of Taps.
