1
The postman dropped a letter in my door
2
The address wasn't plain but I could see
3
It had traveled far across the great Pacific
4
From my Filipino Rose across the sea
5
The writing from her tremblin' hand was blurred
6
The paper, it was badly stained with tears
7
It read, "They tell me you have wed another
8
After I have longed and waited all these years"
9
But I'm still prayin' that the trade winds
10
Send you sailin' across the blue
11
In my harbor, I've dreamed, you'll anchor
12
Where your lonely Filipino waits for you
13
I promised her that I'd return some day
14
I told her she'd won my heart and hand
15
I told her a lie 'cause I was lonely
16
Far from home, a stranger in that foreign land
17
She wrote, "I've watched the driftwood float on by
18
I've watched the sea roll on its weary way
19
I've watched the silver sails out on the ocean
20
Hopin' you might return to me someday"
21
"The chains of love may never set you free
22
But through the years as memories fonder grow
23
This broken heart will always wait for you, dear"
24
It was signed, "Your lonely Filipino Rose"
25
But I'm still prayin' that the trade winds
26
Send you sailin' across the blue
27
In my harbor, I've dreamed, you'll anchor
28
Where your lonely Filipino waits for you
