You've been far away from me
another land across the sea
and all this time my hearts been breaking
just waiting around and aching
for a letter or a telegram telling me how sweet i am
you swear your heart wont do you wrong
until you come back homeill wear your colors my dear
until your standing right here
next to the one who adores you
whose heart is beating for you
like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea
ill wear your colors till you come back home to meim hoping you return the glow
im just making sure you know
that no matter how, no matter when
you come back to me again
you realize this love is strong
as it has been all along
for miles and miles cant come between this kind of love you seeill wear your colors my dear
until your standing right here
next to the one who adores you
whose heart is beating for you
like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea
ill wear your colors until you
come back home to me
(repeat)
