See the sun
See, see the sun
See the sunshine
See the sun go down
See the sun
See, see the sun
See the sunshine
See the sun go down
As I was younger than today
I liked to dream the clouds away
So I went lonesome down the bay
And lived to see the sun go down
I did expect a lonely night
As you came walking by my side
And with the man of my delight
I lived to see the sun go down
Every morning when I wake up
You’re out there wherever the fleet will go
I pray for giving him back to me
Every day when things are wrong
I won’t be grieving, I will be strong, ohoho
I pray for giving him back to me
But that is the day
You are furling down the quay
And you’re giving me your hand
It’s the end of a nightmare
See the sun
See, see the sun
See the sunshine
See the sun go down
See the sun
See, see the sun
See the sunshine
See the sun go down
That evening we, you will agree
Enjoyed your coming back to me
And as we walked along the sea
We lived to see the sun go down
Today a man came to my door
He said you won’t be back no more
With tears I’m walking along the shore
We’ll never see the sun
No more
