Did I hear you say you wished that you could leave her?   Has some foolish disagreement made you blind?   If you traveled around this world, you wouldn't find another girl   Could hold the candle to the gal you left behind      And boy, she's carrying the torch for you   Though solid tears may fall, you'd never know   But on the day that you discover how much you really love her   You'll find her love has never lost its glow      She believed you when you pledged her your devotion   When she watched you as you walked right out the door   After all that she's been through, tonight she still believes in you   As she stands there all alone upon the shore      And boy, she's carrying the torch for you   Though her heart may break, you'd never know   But on the day that you discover how much you really love her   You'll find her love has never lost its glow      You know, I still remember the first time I ever saw her   You see, I was coming home from overseas   And well, she was just standing there as the ship was coming in   Well, she really stood out from the crowd, I can tell you that   And the golden light of dawn was gleaming in her eyes      Well, there's some folks that call her proud   And there's some folks that call her wild   And there's some that even go so far as to call her free   And then there's some   Well, they just call her the Statue of Liberty      And boy, she's carrying the torch for you   Her love light shines for all this world to see   When you'll decide to stay, you'll find a way to love her   She wants you just to know you're always free
