You'll Look for Me
Waylon Jennings · Six Strings Away [Bear Family] [1999]
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me.
Look all around you if you have the time
Look at me once more if you can
You once said you loved me now you've changed your mind
But you'll change your mind again.
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me.
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me
In each horizon, in each face you see
You'll look for love like love used to be
There'll come a time girl you'll look for me...
