Loving a Sailor
I found this while going thru my parents things. It's dated Aug 2, '45. I don't know who sent it to who. My father was serving in the navy in the phillipines at the time.
Loving a Sailor Loving a sailor is not all play For with your heart, the price you must pay It's mostly having and not to hold And being young, but feeling old It's sending a letter with an upside down stamp For a special lover on a faraway coast Being in love with merely your dreams Bring thoughts of heaven where lovelight gleams You wish it were possible for him to phone You want to hear "I'm on my way home." And if he comes it's laughter together Unconscious of people, of time or the weather It's hearing him whisper his love for you And then comes a kiss, a promise of love And knowing you're crying for wanting him so You watch for the word that he is well You wait for months, no word for a spell And when the mail comes, you bubble with joy Just like a baby with a shiney new toy Loving a sailor is unfounded fears Crying until there are no more tears And hating yourself, the world and the War Because it took the man you adore Then going to church, you kneel and to pray Really meaning the things that you say And though you know that he is far away You keep on loving him more everyday You're proud of the job he's helping get done Doing his part, as Uncle Sam's son You for your country he's doing his best He's fighting for you, love.........all the rest You're tired, you're weary, you're doing your share Your helping your sailor to win over there Loving a sailor is bitterness and tears It's loneliness, sadness and unfounded fears No, loving a sailor is really no fun But it's worth all the pride when the battle is won "Cupid" |
