The longer the waiting

Oh the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss It's better my darlin', I promise you this Next time I hold you, I'm not letting go Will you wait for it darlin'?, I need to know Well you know I'm a sailor, and tomorrow we sail It's hard way of livin', but i know it well And if I surrender my life to the sea You can marry another, and it's alright with me Though we won't be together again till 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 (Instrumental Break) 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 darlin', 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
