I kissed you on the side of the city pier
While seagulls danced around us in the sky
One day you'll be my bride I swear it dear
but for now we'll just sit and watch the motor boats go by


I know you have to leave
for that plane ride over seas
but write to me and keep my photo near
and please make no mistake
my heart will surely break
if you're not back again this time next year

I kissed you on the lips at the county fair
while farmers danced around us with their wives
I'd let go of your hand but I don't dare
'cause you see, darlin'
I have got such high hopes for our lives

I know you have to go
but I can't help speaking slow
making sure every I'll miss you comes out clear
you hear? you hear?
and though you won't remain
my love still stays the same
and when you're lonesome I will be right here
you hear? you hear?
but please make no mistake
my heart will surely break
if you're not back again this time next year
