Lyrics

I sent him a card today
A supplement to the phone
I write in a special code
For his eyes alone

Eleven hundred hundred hours
Since I gazed into his eyes
This photo's a substitute
But picture's won't do

So I must get by on dreams (about my baby)
Holding me close in the night
Funny now it seems so clear (when I choose to ponder)
He transcends a fantasy
And I wonder how we happened
Can't remember except some details
That don't matter anyway

I busy myself with chores
Pay bills and shop in stores
Autumn is on the way
So shadows do stay

He is at work right now
Out around noon my time
The powers that shape our fate
Have placed us an ocean away

So I must get by on dreams (about my baby)
Holding me close in the night
Funny now it seems so clear (when I choose to ponder)
He transcends a fantasy
And I wonder how we happened
Can't remember except some details
That don't matter anyway

So I must get by on dreams (about myt baby
Holding me close in the night
Funny now it seems so clear (when I choose to ponder)
He transcends a fantasy
And I wonder how we happened
Can't remember except some details
That don't matter anyway
