"I'll be home soon" He told his almost bride. That's the promise he made, A day before he died.

Of course she knew the risks Marrying a Navy man For his fate was written Long before their love began

He left his girl at home And he was lost at sea The waves are unforgiving And so is his bride to be

They say she's still waiting By the shore, all alone She never gave up hoping That her soldier would come home

Lost in the fog, Alone in the deep. Bound by a promise That he couldn't keep
