Josh Turner - The Longer The Waiting Lyrics

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go
Will you wait for me, darlin'' I need to know

Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
It's a hard way of livin' but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another, it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss, the sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not lettin' go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know
