A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the
shore
I'll say a prayer dear 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
Helps remind me that you're still mine to feel your
nearness night at nine

[ guitar - piano ]
The bugle's playing out go the lights even it's lonely
these army nights

Go tell kids I'm doing fine give them my love dear each
night at nine
A thousand miles dear...

I'll say a prayer dear for yours and mine please think of
me dear each night at nine
