I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes
There ain't no use for me to cry
And there's some things I think
I need to say
I'll think about you every day
Every day while you're away
I'll be true to you, honey
While you're gone
If you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two
It may be too long
For me to be true
I might find somebody else
Cause I get lonesome by myself
I'll be the truest love you've known
And for a while I'll stay at home
I'll be true to you, honey
While you're gone
If you're not gone too long
Tomorrow you'll be gone I know
So love me now before you go
We don't know what's farther
Down the road
There may be a detour sign
To upset plans of yours and mine
I'll be true to you, honey
While you're gone
If you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two
It may be too long
For me to be true
I might find somebody else
Cause I get lonesome by myself
I'll be the truest love you've known
And for a while I'll stay at home
I'll be true to you, honey
While you're gone
If you're not gone too long
Oh, yeah
If you're not gone too long
