They held each other tightly,
two young lovers, times were hard
He said, I don't like this leaving,
but I've got to make a start
And yes, I will be faithful
And yes, I will be true
If you'll only say you'll wait for me
I'll wait for you
She said I'll wait forever for you,
if I know you want me to
I'm not going nowhere, never,
not going without you
I'm nothing on my own, you see,
oh you know that it's true
So say the word and I'll be here,
I'll wait for you
His old car didn't make it
on their wedding day
He'd walked five miles to a phone
to tell her he'd be late
You said, I'm sorry darling,
forgive me, I love you
Now don't you worry none,
she said, I'll wait for you
She said, I'll wait forever for you,
if I know you want me to
I'm not going nowhere, never,
not going without you
I'm nothing on my own, you see,
oh you know that it's true
So say the word and I'll be here,
I'll wait for you
85 he holds her hand
and looks into her eyes
It won't be long, he tells her,
how our lives have flown by
But there's a better one, she says,
we both know that it's true
And we'll go there together,
always for you
She said I'll wait forever for you
If I know you want me to
I'm not going nowhere, never
Not going without you
I'm nothing on my own you see,
oh you know that it's true
So say the word and I'll be here,
I'll wait for you
So say the word and I'll be here,
I'll wait for you.
