We’ve never been so far away
Nor far away so long,
But do not be so sad today
No don’t be sad, be strong
For I, my Love, am waiting here
And will be waiting still,
Though I, perhaps, may shed a tear
Feeling sad until,
Once more I have you by my side
And smile again for joy
With happiness and love and pride
Which nothing can destroy
So do not worry while away
I’ll be waiting here
I’ll fret and worry every day
Until you’re home, my dear
