A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the shore
I`ll say a prayer 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
It helps remind me that you`re still mine please think of me dear each night at nine
The bugle`s blowing out go the lights uh but it`s lonesome these army nights
Tell all our friends I`m doing fine please think of me dear each night at nine
Please think of me dear each night at nine
