Today, the rain is falling hard
runs off my hat and down my coat
some day the sun will shine
but today it's all I can do to keep from crying

My breath hangs heavy in the morning air
rolls out like fog then disappears
some day spring will come
but today it's all I can do to keep from crying

Today it's all I can do
to hide my blues away
and forget all the foolish things I've done
some day I'll forget all this
when I back in your loving arms
but today it's all I can do to keep from crying

The men on the crew love to tease me
but your picture, I keep it here with me
some day I'll be home
but today it's all I can do to keep from crying

Today it's all I can do
to hide my blues away
and forget all the foolish things I've done
some day I'll forget all this
when I back in your loving arms
but today it's all I can do to keep from crying
