MY LIGHTHOUSE
MY CHILD, MY WIFE
MY LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SEA
OH HOW MUCH LITTLE TIME
I GET TO SPEND WITH THEE
THE HUGS AND KISSES
ONE LAST EMBRACE
WE HIDE OUR PAIN
WITH TEARS ON OUR FACE
AS THE SEAS OPEN UP
LAND FADES OUT OF SIGHT
I LONG FOR THE DAY
TO AGAIN SEE YOUR LIGHT
THE DEEP BLUE SEA
THE SUNSETS IN THE SKIES
DO NOT COMPENSATE
FOR THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES
THE NIGHT-NIGHT KISSES
YOUR TENDER TOUCH
THESE ARE THE THINGS
I MISS SO MUCH
THE MOON AT NIGHT
AND THE STARS AT SEA
WILL GUIDE ME BACK
TO WHERE I NEED TO BE
EACH DAY I WAIT
EVERY NIGHT I PRAY
TO SEE YOUR LIGHT
WHICH GUIDES MY WAY
AS TIME GOES ON
WEEKS IN THE PAST
ONCE AGAIN YOUR LIGHT
SPREADS ACROSS MY MAST
SOON I WILL BE HOME
AS WE LAY DOWN THE BROW
HOW I MADE IT WITHOUT YOU
I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW
SO KEEP YOUR LIGHT SHINING
IN YOUR HEART JUST FOR ME
MY CHILD, MY WIFE
MY LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SEA
