Lover of mine Gone to a faraway land Serving your country On some faraway sand But you should get no name Remember that your heart belongs to me I'm sending you a picture To carry with you all the time So when you're feeling lonely It's something to remind you I'm thinking of you constantly Remember that your hearts belongs to me Your heart belongs to me If a pretty girl should pass you by I won't mind If you give her the eye Or even if you give her a smile sometimes But keep your heart Because your heart is mine Your heart is mine Your heart is mine Lover of mine If I could tell you how I yearn For the day to come When you will return From far across the sea So remember that your heart belongs to me Remember your heart belongs to me Far across the sea
