The Longer The Waiting

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss It's better my darlin', I promise you this The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go Will you wait for me, darlin'? I need to know Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail It's a hard way of livin' but I know it well And if I surrender my life to the sea You can marry another, it's alright with me Though we won't be together again 'til the spring Just imagine the treasures I'll bring Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll 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 kiss When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green I'll come back from wherever I've been Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss It's better my darlin', I promise you this The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss It's better my darlin', I promise you this The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know
