Lover of mine gone to a faraway landServing your country on some faraway sandIf you should get no nameRemember that your heart belongs to meI’m sending you a pictureTo carry with you all the timeSo when you’re feeling lonelyIt’s something to remind youI’m thinking of you constantly (thinking of you constantly)Remember that your heart belongs to me, yeah (your heart belongs to me)If a pretty girl should pass you byI won’t mind if you give her the eyeOr even if you give her a smile sometimesBut keep your heart because your heart is mine (mine)Your heart is mine (mine), your heart is mine (mine)Lover of mine, if I could tell you how I yearnFor the day to come when you will return from far across the seaSo remember that your heart belongs to me, yeahRemember your heart belongs to me (your heart belongs to me)You’re far across the sea, but your heart it belongsIt belongs to only me (your heart belongs to me)
