April Smith Colors

You’ve been far away from me 
another land across the sea 
all this time my heart’s been breaking 
just waiting round and aching 
for a letter or a telegram 
telling me how sweet i am 
swear your hear will never roam 
so til you come back home 
i’ll wear your colors my dear 
until you’re standing right here 
next to the one who adores you 
whose heart is beating for you 
like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea
i’ll wear your colors til you come back home to me
