Though I have
seen both storms
and gales
The times
that I have
spent at sea
The loving
wind that fill
my sails
Was the woman
waiting home for
me
Those long
dark nights I
stood my watch
While she was
left on shore
alone
I hope she
knows my heart
was caught
I'd left it
there with her
at home
For every
time our lines
were heaved
Her heart was
left to sit and
wait
I can't
imagine or
believe
Her love for
me could be so
great
These ship's
I've sailed for
months on end
While she
stared lonely
from the shore
Across the
waves the love
she sent
Would see me
safely home once
more
From foreign
shores I'd send
my love
At home for
me she burned
the fires
To woman
she's the step
above
My love, my
life, my one
desire
And on the
days when I
returned
Her beauty it
was waiting
still
The time
apart of no
concern
Her love for
me had iron will
The day this
sailor leaves
the sea
A debt of
love I must
repay
A thousand
years will never
be
A payment for
a single day
So gather
round so you can
hear
If you should
doubt God's love
in life
She's waiting
right there on
the pier
My gift from
God, my Navy
wife
