I saw the hurt look that was in your eyes
As I said goodbye to you
You're pretty smile all but disappeared
The sky turned gray from blue
How I wish I had your company
On this long and lonely ride
But it's better for you to stay right here
Instead of by my side
Sweet sweet Mary
Please don't worry
I will be back and before long
I'll be back in the arms where I belong
The road'll be hard on a mother and child
The sky would be dark above
And I really didn't want to take a chance
With someone I really love
Still I wish that you were here with me
On this long and lonely ride
'Cause the hardest thing I've ever done
Was leaving you behind
Sweet sweet Mary
Please don't worry
I will be back and before long
I'll be back in the arms where I belong
Although I'm gone here in my heart
Is where you will always be
And when I'm back I hope that you'll
Be there waiting for me
Sweet sweet Mary
Please don't worry
I will be back and before long
I'll be back in the arms where I belong
I'll be back in the arms where I belong
I'll be back in your arms where I belong
