I promise you that all the hard times will soon be gone
I know what I'm saying, and I won't be wrong
For this time it feels so close to me
That I can almost touch it in front of me
It's neither a dream or a fantasy
I promise you
Our time will come - our time begins
When my ship comes in

I'll give you the things that I know you've dreamed of
Through all this time, this time of hardships
Of nickels and dimes
And yet I never hear you complaining
Even though our blue skies are raining
When I look at you I know the reason why
I promise you
Our time will come - our time begins
When my ship comes in

To live again as once before
To feel again - but even more
I promise you

I'll take you away to distant places in sunlight
To silver beaches in moonlight
Until we've lost all those memories
Of our distant hardships and miseries
I can see it all like a movie
And I promise you
Our time will come - our time begins
When my ship comes in.
