A thousand miles dear a thousand more across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer for yours and mine please think of me dear each night at nine
I hold your picture close to my heart it takes your place dear while we're apart
It helps remind me that you're still mine please think of me dear each night at nine
The bugle's blowing out go the lights uh but it's lonesome these army nights
Tell all our friends I'm doing fine please think of me dear each night at nine
Please think of me dear each night at nine
