Dear Marianna

Of course tonight the thoughts
Are on the land of the rising sun
December 7th, 1941
One never knows what's next
Blonds, redheads, brunettes
War! Wow!!
This gives me a want to go to mother feeling
I don't want to hold and have you now
But then you can't always have your own way

[Chorus]
And I miss you and with the world as it is
My longing for you is even greater
I miss you and with the world as it is
The longing for you is even greater

Last night I knocked myself out
With the good old… guess what
I tried to write to you, but then there's no way
I gеt so outspoken when I'm drunk
Besidеs, I want to have something to say
When you lay your head on me
My friend, Tom, is laughing 'cause I'm writing again
But then he turn of events makes me scared

[Chorus]
And I miss you and with the world as it is
My longing for you is even greater
I miss you and with the world as it is
The longing for you is even greater

Now it's Sunday night
December 7th, 9:15
Tell me where's my love
How does she feel?
Thinking of me?
I was still in bed
Tom was up reading when the radio said
Bombs, Japan, Pearl Harbor
He turned and said, "Now what they want to say
A think like that for?"
My head was reeling
I didn't get it, but those words will never fade
I want to turn to you and hold you
Until this whole thing is over and done
