Will He Be Waiting for Me

Dolly Parton · The Acoustic Collection: 1999-2002 [Sugar Hill] [2006]

(Dolly Parton)



I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me

The road that led me out of his life

I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder

The day that I told him good-bye

I never should'a left him, never should'a gone

Oh what a crazy fool I've been

Will he be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

And will he take me back again.



He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died

He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or will I find that this time I'll be the one to cry.



Shadows from the trees shade the path that I am walkin'

As I make my way back up that windy road again

The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume

My heart beats faster as I near my journey's end

I wonder if he missed me, wonder if he wants me

I wonder does he love me still

Will he be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Oh, how I hope he will.



He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died

He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or will I find that this time I'll be the one to cry.

He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died

He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he

Or will I find that this time I'll be the one to cry...
