Gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes
There ain't no need for me to cry
There's some things I think I need to say

I'll think about you every day
Every day while you're away
And I'll be true to you, honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long

But if you're gone for a year or two
Baby, you know that's too had to be true
I might find somebody else
'Cause I'll get lonesome by myself

I'll be the truest love you've known
For a while, I'll stay at home
And I'll be true to you, honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long

Tomorrow you'll be gone, I know
So love me now before you go
We don't know what's farther down the road

There may be a detour sign
The upset plans of yours and mine
I'll be true to you, honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two
Baby, you know that's too had to be true
I might find somebody else
'Cause I'll get lonesome by myself

I'll be the truest love you've known
For a while, I'll stay at home
And I'll be true to you, honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long

If you're gone for a year or two
Baby, you know that's too had to be true
I might find somebody else
'Cause I'll get lonesome by myself

I'll be the truest love you've known
For a while, I'll stay at home
And I'll be true to you, honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long

Oh, if you're not gone too long
