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
