[Verse 1]
I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
The road that led me out of his life
I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder
The day that I told him goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
I never should'a left him, never should'a gone
Oh what a crazy fool I've been
Will he be waiting for me? He will be, won't he
And will he take me back again?
[Chorus]
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died?
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or will I find that this time, I'll be the one to cry?
[Verse 2]
Shadows from the trees shade the path that I am walking
As I make my way back up that windy road again
The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume
My heart beats faster as I near my journey's end
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if he missed me, wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still
Will he be waiting for me? He will be, won't he
Oh, how I hope he will
[Chorus]
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died?
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or will I find that this time, I'll be the one to cry?
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died?
He will be waiting for me, he will be, won't he?
Or will I find that this time, I'll be the one to cry?
[Outro]
Cry, mmm
