The Longer The Waiting

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
Its better my darlin, I promise you this
The next time I hold you Im not lettin go
Will you wait for me, darlin? I need to knowWell, you know Im a sailor and tomorrow we sail
Its a hard way of livin but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another, its alright with meThough we wont be together again til the spring
Just imagine the treasures Ill bringCome lay with me, stay with me, soon Ill be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss, the sweeter the kissWhen the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
Ill come back from wherever Ive beenOh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
Its better my darlin, I promise you this
The next time I hold you Im not lettin go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I knowOh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
Its better my darlin, I promise you this
The next time I hold you Im not lettin go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know
