The Longer the Waiting (The Sweeter the Kiss) - Anna Ternheim

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

It's better my darling, I promise you this

The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

Will you wait for me darling, I need to know

Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail

It's a hard way of living but I know it well

And if I surrender my life to the sea

You can marry another it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again 'til the spring

Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

I will remember you all winter long

And when I return to the one that I miss

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

The sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green

I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

It's better my darling, I promise you this

the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

I will give up the ocean forever, I know

Forever I know

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

It's better my darling, I promise you this

the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

I will give up the ocean forever, I know

Forever, I know
