Hands Across The Sea 1939

Just a picture postcard
signed with "Love from you"
hoping we'll soon be together
means the world to someone
far across the blue,
someone who loves you for ever.

Hands across the sea,
bring you near to me,
though I'm far away from you,
just a card from home
sent across the foam,
with a handshake that's tender and true,
when I see the white cliffs of Dover once more,
never again will I roam.
Hands across the sea,
wait and pray for me,
those hands that will welcome me home.

Hands across the sea,
bring you near to me,
though I'm far away from you,
just a card from home
sent across the foam,
with a handshake that's tender and true,
when I see the white cliffs of Dover once more,
never again will I roam.
Hands across the sea,
wait and pray for me,
those hands that will welcome me home.

Darling may God bless you,
keep you night and day,
my thoughts are with you for ever,
'till my arms caress you,
night and day I pray,
someday we'll soon be together.

Hands across the sea,
bring you near to me,
though I'm far away from you,
just a card from home
sent across the foam,
with a handshake that's tender and true,
when I see the white cliffs of Dover once more,
never again will I roam.
Hands across the sea,
wait and pray for me,
those hands that will welcome me home.

Hands across the sea,
bring you near to me,
though I'm far away from you,
just a card from home
sent across the foam,
with a handshake that's tender and true,
when I see the white cliffs of Dover once more,
never again will I roam.
Hands across the sea,
wait and pray for me,
those hands that will welcome me home.
