Loving a sailor is a high price to pay,
Loving him truly is hard when he's away..
There comes a kiss, and promise for more,
As his ship gently glides away from shore...
Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go,
While you are dying inside for wanting him so..
Watching him leave with eyes full of tears,
Standing alone with ur hopes, dreams & fears...
Days go by, no mail for a spell,
You wait for some word, to hear that he's well...
Then a letter arrives & you are given in,
To open his letter & read it with a grin...
Yes, he's well & misses you so
And is filled with the love you wanted to know...
Yes, loving a sailor isn't much fun,
But its worth the price when the battle is won...
And remember he is thinking of you everyday,
He’s sad and lonely while so far away...
So love him & miss him & hold ur head high,
Be strong & have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for 'Loving A Sailor'.
