Forever and a Day
When the cold nights of winter
Weigh heavy on my mind
I walk down to the river
To ease my worried mind
I can see the reflection
Of the moon on every ice flow in the bay
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
And when the pines stand tall and silent
Beneath the starry sky
The letter that you wrote me
I read a thousand times
I can see the reflection
Of your face on every ice flow in the bay
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
Come back home
To the ones that love you true
Come back home
To the ones that miss you so
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
When the first rays of sunshine
Come melt the night away
On the day you return
I will walk down to the bay
And I'll wait by the water
Til the ship pulls in that took you far away
Oh, mother dear, I miss you more each day
And my brother and my daddy
I know they both miss you too
And the waiting would be easy
If only we could know
Have you reached your destination
On some far off shore, wherever it may lay
And to know that you'd soon be on your way
Come back home
To the ones that love you true
Come back home
To the ones that miss you so
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
Hmm
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
Weigh heavy on my mind
I walk down to the river
To ease my worried mind
I can see the reflection
Of the moon on every ice flow in the bay
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
And when the pines stand tall and silent
Beneath the starry sky
The letter that you wrote me
I read a thousand times
I can see the reflection
Of your face on every ice flow in the bay
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
Come back home
To the ones that love you true
Come back home
To the ones that miss you so
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
When the first rays of sunshine
Come melt the night away
On the day you return
I will walk down to the bay
And I'll wait by the water
Til the ship pulls in that took you far away
Oh, mother dear, I miss you more each day
And my brother and my daddy
I know they both miss you too
And the waiting would be easy
If only we could know
Have you reached your destination
On some far off shore, wherever it may lay
And to know that you'd soon be on your way
Come back home
To the ones that love you true
Come back home
To the ones that miss you so
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
Hmm
Seems like you were gone forever
But for you I'll wait forever and a day
And I know that you'll soon be on your way
