I Wonder if She Waits for Me Tonight
“Here within my lonely room
Dreams close in, I’m leaving soon.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight.
Old-time songs we used to know
Brings her back from long ago.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight.”
Strolling down a country lane through the twilight hours.
There I found a lonely shack nestled ‘mong the flowers.
Through the window I could see an aged man in reverie
With eyes half-closed in sweet repose he sang so tenderly….
“Here within my lonely room
Dreams close in, I’m leaving soon.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight.
Old-time songs we used to know
Brings her back from long ago.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight.”
“I still recall our last farewell,
Her soft brown hair in ringlets fell
Across my arm as there I held her tight.
If an angel from the sky
Comes to close my weary eyes
Then I’ll know she waits for me tonight.”
