Each Night At Nine

A thousand miles dear, a thousand more Across the water, across the shore I'll say a prayer, dear for yours and mine Please think of me, dear each night at nine I hold your picture close to my heart It takes your place, dear while we're apart Helps remind me that you're still mine To feel your nearness night at nine The bugle's playing out go the lights Even it's lonely, these army nights Go tell kids I'm doing fine Give them my love, dear each night at nine A thousand miles dear I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine Please think of me dear each night at nine
