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



            G                    C           G         
Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail

         G           Em       C          D
It's a hard way of living but I know it well

     Bm        C                  Am
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

       C                        D
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring


      G                          C            G
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

    G       Em           C         D
But I will remember you all winter long

   Bm      C                    Am
When I return to the one that I miss

          G                     C           Em
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green

          C                       D
I'll come back from wherever I've been
