I’m just waiting here by the sea,
For you my love to return to me.
Just writing your name in the sand,
And waiting for you, my special man.
On that day, I watched you sail away,
Now for your safe return I must pray.
Your fight is for freedom in a desert land,
Our country’s call was your command.
Your voice calls to me from a sea breeze.
In that tone, me, often you have teased.
Last night I saw your face in the moon,
My love I wish you to come home soon.
I know there are some who won’t return,
For their families I have much concern.
They willingly pay the price you see,
For believing all people should be free.
I hope your task won’t take very long.
But America’s convictions are very strong.
I know God will show our soldiers the way,
So I can celebrate your safe return one day.
For now I’ll sit here dreaming of you,
While reading one of your letters, or two.
Then I will walk again by the shore,
Searching the sea for your ship once more.
It’s sunset now this day will soon end,
I’m now going to write a letter to send.
Telling you darling of my everlasting love,
How you’re the man I’m so very proud of.
Tomorrow when I awake again I’ll go,
Down to the sea, along the shore I’ll stroll.
Dear, I shall take this walk day after day,
Until you sail home, my love, to forever stay. |
