EACH NIGHT AT NINE
Floyd Tillman

Floyd Tillman 
Ernest Tubb – 1945, 1965



A thousand miles dear a thousand more 
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine 
Please think of me dear each night at nine

I hold your picture close to my heart 
It takes your place dear while we're apart
Helps remind me that you're still mine 
To feel your nearness each night at nine

Instrumentals - guitar & steel

The bugle's playing out goes the light 
Gee but it's lonely these Army nights
Please tell kiddies I'm doing fine 
Give them my love dear each night at nine

A thousand miles dear a thousand more 
Across the water across the shore
I'll say a prayer dear for your and mine 
Please think of me dear each night at nine
