We stand on the shore and gaze out to sea,
Is your Daddy thinking of me?
Oh, I pray for the day my wishes come true,
And your Daddy comes home to you.
Oh, your Daddy is brave and your Daddy is true,
And, I know in my heart, he will love you;
We wait on the shore, my baby and me,
For that ship to come home from the sea.
We laughed for the sun and sang for the moon,
But our song was over too soon;
Oh, the senses reel, passions burn,
And your Daddy will surely return.
Oh, your Daddy is brave and your Daddy is true,
And, I know in my heart, he will love you;
We wait on the shore, my baby and me,
For that ship to come home from the sea.
He'll open his arms and call out my name,
And all will be the same;
Oh, and arm in arm, such lovers you'll see,
When your Daddy comes to me.
Oh, your Daddy is brave and your Daddy is true,
And, I know in my heart, he will love you;
We wait on the shore, my baby and me,
For that ship to come home from the sea.
