Johnny Concho's Theme (Wait For Me)
Frank Sinatra · Complete Capitol Singles Collection [1996]
Wait for me, my love and I'll be coming home.
But now I can't change, something strange lures me on,
My love, can't you see I'm not free till it's gone.
Wait for me, my love, for I am in dreams,
And my heart must chase those ripples on the stream.
So keep faith in your heart, keep your love ever true,
For if you felt like me, I'd wait for you.
