The Longer The Waiting [The Sweeter The Kiss]
|
Written by Pat McLaughlin and Roger Cook
|
|
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
|
It's better my darling, I promise you this
|
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
|
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
|
|
Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
|
It's a hard way of living 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 darling, I promise you this
|
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting 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 darling, I promise you this
|
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
|
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
|
Forever, I know
|
