Cindy Oh Cindy Lyrics
Eddie Fisher
Lyrics
Cindy, Oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind
Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter, soon
And I'll be homeward bound
I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out for me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely deck
Caressed by memories
Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter, soon
And I'll be homeward bound
I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the decks alone
Her loving arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailing days will be over
No more will I roam
Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter, soon
And I'll be homeward bound
And I'll be homeward bound
