They say we sail tonight
|
And we may have to fight
|
I want with all my might to stay
|
|
But I'll go for God, country, and my baby
|
You know I have to go
|
And, dear, I'll miss you so
|
|
For God, country, and my baby
|
Please write me every day, every day that I'm away
|
And though I'll be alone across the Rhine
|
I'll dream about you, dear, and know you're mine
|
|
BRIDGE: And if I ever need you, I'll close my eyes and see you
|
Your lips, your kiss, I'll need them so
|
|
I'll go for God, country, and my baby
|
Sure, as these teardrops burn, I promise to return
|
And when I'm home, I'll cling to the arms of my baby
|
|
And when I'm home, I'll stay in the arms of my baby
|
|
