Written by Pat McLaughlin and Roger Cook 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
