I'll Be Waiting

I'll Be Waiting - Bill Anderson/Jan Howard

Packed my things and went away

A thousand years ago today

For I had places to go and things to see

I had a girl who loved me so

And she begged me not to go

But I left and took her pleading words

With me

I'll be waiting always waiting

I love you and I'll miss you

While you're gone

I know you have to do

What your heart tells you to

So I'll be waiting till

It tells you to come home

All the things I'd hoped to find

I soon learned I'd left behind

So I told myself oh boy let's us go home

Cause our darling's waiting there

And she said she'd always care

And the echo of her promise leads me on

I'll be waiting always waiting

I'll be waiting till your heart

Tells you come home

I'll be waiting always waiting

I love you and I'll miss you

While you're gone

I know you have to do

What your heart tells you to

So I'll be waiting till it hard

Tells you to come home

I'll be waiting till it hard

Tells you to come home
