Don't let it happen don't find somebody new

Don't let the loneliness make a fool of you

Don't be tempted by the moonlight while we are apart

Just remember you're in love with a far away heart



A far away heart but it's true

With only lonely duties hadn't taken me from you

And sent me far across the seas away from you sweetheart

But have no fear you're always here in this far away heart



I'm so happy when you write me but when I read it through

I can see some tears have fallen on the letter too

Don't cry darling think about when our love got its start

That old love light's still burning bright in this far away heart



A far away heart but it's true...
