Verse 1
He woke up this morning, and he packed his bags.
He was going out to sea. Not a smile could be
Found on her pretty face. She just said hurry
Up, honey, you’ll be late. So he turned her around,
And she fell in his arms. He just kissed her, and he
Said these words:
Chorus
Hold on, be strong. I’ll be back in no time at all.
You see your tears are in the ocean, and my voice
Is in the wind, carried away by our love within.
Hold on, hold on, be strong.
Verse 2
Standing at the pier with a tear in her eye. He
Threw up his hand waving good-bye. They both
Stared with silence and through all the noise,
She could barely hear him when he shouted these
Words:
Chorus
Hold on, be strong. I’ll be back in no time at all.
You see your tears are in the ocean, and my voice
Is in the wind, carried away by our love within.
Hold on, hold on, be strong.
Verse 3
Anchors away was the last thing she heard
When her sailor went out to sea. She stood
There watching and waiting, and tears fell from
Her eyes, into the ocean. Right then, she realized:
Chorus
Hold on, be strong. I’ll be back in no time at all.
You see your tears are in the ocean, and my voice
Is in the wind, carried away by our love within.
Hold on, hold on, be strong. Just hold on.
Hold on, hold on, be strong.
