HE'LL HAVE TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC (TO GET TO THE PACIFIC)
(Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn)

Doris Day


After D-Day, I worried until VE-Day
I've got my welcome well rehearsed
But first

He'll have to cross the Atlantic
To get to the Pacific
He'll have to cross the pacific
Before he comes back to me

My love for him just grows stronger
The days and nights seem longer
I know what makes `em seem longer
But that's how it's got to be

Every day just adds to my devotion
But until the day that they run out of ocean

He'll have to cross the Atlantic
To get to the Pacific
He'll have to cross the pacific
But that's how it's got to be
Before he comes back to me
