A patient glance, a forgiving mind   But she always wonders where he is this time   He lives everyday in a different key with harmonies and melodies   A couple more weeks and he'll be home again      The promise holds true, when he has no means   Hopes and her dreams will be a reality   He'll always know, that its meant to be   She's the only girl that he will ever need      Both pockets have holes, can't sift his last   To afford a postcard attached to a stamp   She deserves a companion when he's not around   Maybe with black paws and spots of brown   A couple more weeks and he'll be home again      The promise holds true, when he has no means   Hopes and her dreams will be a reality   He'll always know, that its meant to be   She's the only girl that he will ever need      The calendars marked on till September   There's one more thing for her to remember   However many miles away he'll go there's one thing left for sure   The road will always lead to her      The promise holds true, when he has no means   Hopes and her dreams will be a reality   He'll always know, that its meant to be   She's the only girl that he will ever need
