[00:00.000]Love Wore A Halo(Back Before The War) (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith
[00:06.090]Written by：Nanci Griff
[00:12.189]He owned a hotel on Jersey shore
[00:17.333]She made her living seeing
[00:19.777]The sailors door to door
[00:23.224]He was a small Hawaiian
[00:26.098]With a crooked smile
[00:28.380]But he made her eyes light up
[00:30.598]Like the heavens on the Fourth of July
[00:34.436]She ran the numbers
[00:36.688]They say she ran them clean
[00:39.636]Those porcelain hands keep a ledger
[00:42.406]Even in her sleeves
[00:45.468]While he worked the See-Bees
[00:48.000]In the Phillipines
[00:50.672]They say she made more money
[00:52.736]Than you and I will ever see
[00:56.714]Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore
[01:01.894]If you were looking for love boys
[01:03.820]You could have found it in '44
[01:07.836]Cause love wore a halo back before the war
[01:13.587]When the men loved the women
[01:15.127]And the women knew what men were for
[01:24.271]It was in the winter when he came home
[01:29.567]And he had to hold those porcelain hands
[01:32.255]Just to keep her warm
[01:35.443]So they had a daughter
[01:37.607]Her name was Stephanie Anne
[01:40.227]They sent her off to Vasser
[01:42.523]To find herself a family man
[01:46.602]Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore
[01:51.646]If you were looking for love boys
[01:53.678]You could have found it in '44
[01:57.754]Cause love wore a halo back before the war
[02:03.190]When the men loved the women
[02:04.882]And the women knew what men were for
[02:20.009]She sold the hotel; it belongs to me
[02:25.001]And I watch those sailors come
[02:27.105]And go by the waves in the sea
[02:31.029]From the poor chaps in the honeymoon suite
[02:36.209]And I hear them fishing their lives
[02:38.341]Away in the Florida Keys
[02:42.241]Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore
[02:47.341]If you were looking for love boys
[02:49.257]You could have found it in '44
[02:53.329]Cause love wore a halo back before the war
[02:58.609]When the men loved the women
[03:00.842]And the women knew what men were for
[03:04.708]When the men loved the women
[03:06.038]And the women knew what men were for
[03:10.256]When the men loved the women
[03:11.538]And the women knew what men were for
