Waiting For Him To Return
Waiting for Him to Return
Wish my love would only return again
From place where he may have been
And so all alone I do sit here now
Asking God to help me get by somehow.
As the sleek ship sailed out to sea
My hope is that he will remember me
In whatever things he may now do
Across wide ocean with water blue.
In an accident was injured and is dead
Each day over and over I do dread
Thoughts bringing tears to my each eye
New ones are wet where old ones are dry.
Past has gone by and is no longer here
He is gone and in heaven did disappear
Every time to God I prayed and prayed
Memories of him in my mind are displayed.
