Lyrics:
Written by Joe Babcock
Recorded by Hank Snow
I was born in Macon Georgia they kept my dad in the Macon jail
Dad said son if you keep your hands
Cab driver, wait here by the door
Perhaps I'll hold her in my arms once more
Then things will be just like they were before
Cab driver, wait here by
think my dreamin' brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Once a miser, twice a son
Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun
and endeavour to create
A design for living at your ease
If you're over-eager and go snapping at the bait
You will end by giving at the knees
There's a last love,
recognize the light in his eyes
That no other eyes reveal?
Or will I pass him by
And never even know that he is my ideal?
Or maybe he's a dream, and yet
apart
Tonight, tonight
I watch, I wait
How long will my heart ache
Tonight, oh tonight
I watch, I wait
My heart is bound to break
Tonight
You're sleeping, son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally
Rise up, take your lyre and sing
Listen, to the news I bring
Frosty breath on the window
See a friend in the snow that gently falls
Feel the truth
Rise up! Take your lyre and sing
Listen! To the news I bring
Frosty breath on the window
See a friend in the snow that gently falls
Feel
off,
Start all over again.
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait
arms again
I feel like walking on air.
And just to dream you'll be there keeps me going.
And all those days go by.
We will never be apart again,
You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally
break down and cry.
Sleeping single - I will wait for you. I'm sleeping single - 'til you change your mind. Sleeping single - I will wait for you 'til
forsake me oh my darling although you're grieving don't think of leaving
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along wait along wait along wait along
whispers goodbye
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in Lover's
promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, (wait
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
And someone waits by the garden gate
Down in
a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Another
by and by
Faithful till death said our loving master; a few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing as we sweep
Cause I'm barely making it by
And I been crying all night
But I will wait on you
Cause Lord I trust in you
I will wait onnnnnn
(I will wait)
I will
forsake me oh my darling although you're grieving don't think of leaving
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along wait along wait along wait along
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait
To feel the strength I want to
I
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
And someone waits by the garden gate
Down in
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
And someone waits by the garden gate
Down in
