[00:17.66]Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
[00:23.85]It's better my darling, I promise you this
[00:29.84]The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
[00:37.92]Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
[00:46.20]Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
[00:52.30]It's a hard way of living but I know it well
[00:58.38]And if I surrender my life to the sea
[01:06.15]You can marry another it's alright with me
[01:14.64]Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
[01:22.92]Just imagine the treasures I'll bring
[01:30.11]Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
[01:36.29]I will remember you all winter long
[01:42.18]And when I return to the one that I miss
[01:50.15]Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
[01:57.65]The sweeter the kiss
[02:04.35]
[02:28.99]When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
[02:35.26]I'll come back from wherever I've been
[02:42.36]Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
[02:48.54]It's better my darling, I promise you this
[02:54.53]the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
[03:02.41]I will give up the ocean forever, I know
[03:09.86]Forever I know
[03:23.64]
[03:43.02]Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
[03:51.51]It's better my darling, I promise you this
[03:59.08]the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
[04:08.96]I will give up the ocean forever, I know
[04:17.94]Forever, I know
