| My sailor is handsome, smart and kind |
| He tells me his thoughts and I tell him mine |
| We feel our friendship has been forever |
| Knowing it will dispel never |
| My sailor and I are so far apart |
| But we'll always be in each others heart |
| For we have much friendship to share |
| And for each other we'll always be there |
| During the days we wrote one another |
| I longed to meet him, he's like a brother |
| Finding through our letters we were meant to be friends |
| Always and until the end |
| I would often sit in my room at night |
| Underneath the bedroom light |
| Writing the letter he would receive |
| Sending peace and love to thee |
| And soon came the day for him to arrive |
| Never have I felt so alive |
| He would be standing before me soon |
| There on that afternoon |
| I stood and watched the ship come in |
| As I waited for the welcome home songs to begin |
| While I listened to the crowd cheer |
| My eyes filled with joyous tears |
| And as he walked through the crowd |
| Oh, how I felt so very proud |
| I thought of all the things I'd say |
| To him on that wondrous day |
| There we stood before one another |
| We smiled, talked and hugged each other |
| And from then we knew we'd be |
| Friends until eternity |
|
