The Longer the Waiting (The Sweeter the Kiss)

[Anna Ternheim & Dave Ferguson]
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

[Anna Ternheim]
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

[Anna Ternheim & Dave Ferguson]
Though we won't be together again till the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

[Dave Ferguson]
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long

[Anna Ternheim & Dave Ferguson]
When I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
The sweeter the kiss

[Anna Ternheim & Dave Ferguson]
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
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know
