WAITIN' FOR YOU

I never dreamed it could be

A someone made just for me

When I'm letting her have her way,

I'm here to see what she has to say.

Aw, the poor girl always wins the day.

I'm stayin' ahead of the game,

And she's a-doin' the same,

And the whiskey flyin' into my head.

The fiddler's arm has gone dead,

And talk is beginning to spread

When did our love go bad?

Whatever happened to the best friend that I had?

It's been so long since I held you tight

Been so long since we said goodnight

The taste of tears is bittersweet

When you're near me, my heart forgets to beat

You're there every night among the good and the true

And I'll be around, waitin' for you

Well, the king of them all

Is starting to fall

I lost my gal at the boatman's ball

The night has a thousand hearts and eyes

Hope may vanish, but it never dies

I'll see you tomorrow when freedom rings

I'm gonna stay on top of things

It's the middle of summer and the moon is blue

And I'll be around, waitin' for you

Another deal gone down

Another man done gone

You put up with it all, and you carry on

Something holding you back

But you'll come through

I'd bet the world and everything in it on you

Happiness is but a state of mind

Anytime you want, you can cross the state line

You don't need to be rich or well-to-do

I'll be around, waitin' for you
