Each Night at Nine

A thousand miles, dear

A thousand more across the water

Across the shore

I'll say a prayer, dear

For yours and mine

Please think of me, dear

Each night at nine

I hold your picture

Close to my heart

It takes your place, dear

While we're apart

Helps remind me

That you're still mine

To feel your nearness

Each night at nine

The bugle's playing

Out go the lights

Even it's lonely these army nights

Go tell kids I'm doing fine

Give them my love, dear

Each night at nine

A thousand miles, dear

A thousand more across the water

Across the shore

I'll say a prayer, dear

For yours and mine

Please think of me, dear

Each night at nine
