Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea
[VERSE 2]
While you're away
Oh Ben, remember me
When you return
You'll find me waiting here
Though our days together
Have been so very few
They've been so very precious
And when you're far away
Only memories of these treasured moments we've spent together
And hope that maybe someday you'll return
Yes only these things can make me endure the torture of lonliness that is certain to come to me when you're gone
I'll miss you so much
And remember darling
[Repeat VERSE 2]
