A thousand miles, dear, a thousand more
Across the water, across the shore
Please say a prayer, dear, for yours and mine
Please think of me, dear, each night at nine
The bugles playin`, out go the lights
Gee, but it`s lonely these army nights
Just tell the kids, love, I`m doin` fine
Give them my love, dear, each night at nine
I have your picture close to my heart
It takes your place while we`re apart
Helps to remind me that you`re still mine
Please think of me, dear, each night at nine
