When the willows start to weep
And the winter wind has died
When the water's running deep
I look to the other side
Searching for my true love
Hoping that he will come
He took me by the hand
Swore his love was true
When I looked into his eyes
I saw oceans of blue
Waves crashing on the shore
He was coming to me once more
Wait for me, I will return
Inside my heart my love will burn
You're in my soul forever more
Wait for me
Please wait for me
Sometimes in the night
I think I hear him call
But it's the lonely whippoorwill
Singing in that song
I wait and time goes by
Spinning dreams that I can hear his cry
Wait for me, I will return
Inside my heart my love will burn
You're in my soul forever more
Wait for me
Please wait for me
When the willows start to weep
I'll be back by your side
