They say we sail tonight And we may have to fight I want with all my might to stay But I'll go for God, country, and my baby You know I have to go And, dear, I'll miss you so For God, country, and my baby Please write me every day, every day that I'm away And though I'll be alone across the Rhine I'll dream about you, dear, and know you're mine BRIDGE: And if I ever need you, I'll close my eyes and see you Your lips, your kiss, I'll need them so I'll go for God, country, and my baby Sure, as these teardrops burn, I promise to return And when I'm home, I'll cling to the arms of my baby And when I'm home, I'll stay in the arms of my baby
