“When will I see you” she breathed,
after a day and one more
“But what of the plans we promised to” she whispered
can a promise not wait a day and one more
“Do you wish I stay idle while you move on shifting plans, for I cannot spend life counting and recounting sands” she questioned
sure I will be of plans in a day and one more
“How do I know, how can you be sure” she sang
because a promise is a promise even after a day and one more
“Then I will wait ‘til you’re back and your ship hits the shore” she cried
I will be home after a day and one more
The woman stayed still for a day and one more,
but the man who took her heart, never took to that shore.
And when hard years later all men returned from the war,
She still sang that song
“I will love you a day and forevermore”
