Last night I cried until I slept
Alone on our bed I wept
Because you have gone away
To serve our country so far away
I’ll miss you the whole time you are gone
And I’ll cry on the day you return on
These will be tears of happiness
For I will be overcome with joy, I must confess
Tonight I will cry until I sleep
But I will not be alone as I weep
Because this time you are home with me
Back from being across the sea
