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( guitar - piano )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
