作曲 : Maury Yeston

I'll be coming back to you, Darlene

Back to your dark eyes and hair

Marry me when I return, Darlene

And until that day, my love, take care

Be thee well

May the lord who watches all watch over thee

May God's heaven be you blanket as you softly sleep

Marry me

When you're fin'ly in my arms you'll plainly see

This devoted sailor's heart and soul

Are yours to keep!

Yours-to-keep...

Every day from G-M-O-M

"Good morning, old man"

To G-N-O-M

"Good night, old man"

My telegraph sends its messages to ships at sea

Sending out its

I was young and shy, detached and sad

Spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad

Hardly spoke, few friends

I kept myself to myself

Quite alone

Then I found Marconi's Telegraph

It couls span the planrt's width by half

Fifty yards, two thousand miles

The same!

Touch the spark... sound the tone

And the night was alive

With a thousand voices

Fighting to be heard

And each and every one of them

Connected to me...

And my life cam alive

With a thousand voices

Tapping out each word

Like a thousand people

Joined with a single heartbeat

Tapping out our Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit

Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit

Dit dit-dah-dit dah

Everywhere...

Marry me

It's alive with a thousand voices

May the lord who

Watches all

Watch over thee

And every one of them

Connected to me

Marry me

So alive with a thousand voices

May God's heaven be your blanket

As you sleep

Those people

Joined with a single

Heartbeat

Tapping out our Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit

Marry me...

Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit

Marry me...

Dit dit-dah-dit da

Signed "Fred."
