Crystol Woods Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

This song came about when I heard my grandmother tell about how she and grandpa met and how he died in the war. They had 12 children, the youngest being just an infant when he passed away. She never remarried, saying, "he's waiting for me now, as I waited for him for so many years." <3 <3

I Will Wait For You

I Will Wait For You

Vs1.
I've been searching this long, lonesome time
To find the One who will forever be mine
Even though we haven't met
My heart is steady and my mind is set 
To our future love, I'll stay true
Yess, I will wait for you. 

Chorus:*
I'll be faithful, I'll be true
You're the only one for me and
I'm yours too
Even though my heart aches 
And I want you every single day
I will wait for you

Vs2.
When you left to serve the country we both love 
I cried and prayed for a sign from above
To tell me you would make it home
Or on foreign soil, die alone
But no signs say you'll make it through
But I'll pray everyday that you do...
And I will wait for you. 

Chorus*

Vs.3.
She has always been there for me
She's been the glue to our family
All these years she's waited so patiently
Although I tried to stay, I had to go
God called me to my home
Like Him, she gave me a love I didn't earn
So now, darlin', it's my turn...
I will wait for you. 
Chorus*

Paul Callus July 29, 2024 at 12:11 PM These are lovely lyrics, Crystol, simple ad clear to pronounce (like song lyrics should always be). Love and commitment are the bases of a lasting marriage. Like you I too used to sing, in a choir and in church; nowadays I concentrate more on writing lyrics for songs, many of which have been recorded. ~ I read your biography...I can relate to the passing away of your child; ours would have been the 3rd one. ~ Regards // paul Crystol Woods July 29, 2024 at 1:36 PM I just reposted this lyric with audio, I would be honored if you would listen to it and let me know if you like the melody??? Should be the first one in my list of poetry now. But please, only do so if you want to! No obligations. Xoxo Crystol Woods July 29, 2024 at 12:24 PM Sounds like we have much in common Paul! Some ideas, beliefs, interests, and some sorrows. Condolences on the loss of your child...I pray you've taken comfort in the hope of reunion, as I have. I would love to see/hear your songs!!! Please, if your able, soupmail to me or I'll give you my personal email.LMK! Xo

Silent One May 17, 2024 at 3:30 AM You do lyrics so well... Just waiting for you to sing now... 12 children wow... and your grandma must have been alone for a long time.. Which war was it? Crystol Woods May 17, 2024 at 9:31 AM Vietnam War...approx.1965 when he passed. Yes, she was alone romantically, but she always said her children and grandchildren were all she needed. My mom's mom... thank you for the compliment and all of your feedback!! Xo
