The Longer the Waiting (The Sweeter the Kiss)

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
 It's better my darling, I promise you this
 The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
 Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
 Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
 It's a hard way of living but I know it well
 And if I surrender my life to the sea
 You can marry another it's alright with me
 Though we won't be together again 'til 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
 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 darling, 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
 Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
 It's better my darling, 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
