Lyrics Each Night at Nine

A thousand miles, dear
A thousand more across the water
Across the shore
I'll say a prayer, dear
For yours and mine
Please think of me, dear
Each night at nine

I hold your picture
Close to my heart
It takes your place, dear
While we're apart
Helps remind me
That you're still mine
To feel your nearness
Each night at nine

[ guitar - piano ]

The bugle's playing
Out go the lights
Even it's lonely these army nights
Go tell kids I'm doing fine
Give them my love, dear
Each night at nine
A thousand miles, dear
A thousand more across the water
Across the shore
I'll say a prayer, dear
For yours and mine
Please think of me, dear
Each night at nine
