Lyrics
Whatโs your hurry canโt you stay
And pass an hour away
And weโll sit and dream awhile
By candlelight
For when the long days over
Thatโs the time I fear the most
When I hear your footsteps
Fade into the night
Youโre restless tell me why
Thereโs a teardrop in your eye
And Iโve seen it there
A hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me
And it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come
To see me anymore
I well recall that day
When my ship it sailed away
To a far off distant land
Across the sea
Where a cruel war was raging
Where time was standing still
And blind hatred was
The order of the day
Youโre restless tell me why
Thereโs a teardrop in your eye
And Iโve seen it there
A hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me
And it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come
To see me anymore
I know it canโt be fair
For a soldier's wife to hear
How he helped to keep
His country proud and free
And no bronze or fancy ribbons
Can ever heal the pain
When he comes back
Half the man he used to be
Youโre restless tell me why
Thereโs a teardrop in your eye
And Iโve seen it there
A hundred times before
And I know you're going to leave me
And it always breaks my heart
For you seldom come
To see me anymore
