I’ll Wait Lyrics by Pat Lewis

1966

[Chorus]
I'll wait
(I'll wait)
For he'll be coming back
(He'll be coming back)
He'll know his heart went out to play
(I'll wait)
But he'll get over that
(He'll get over that)

[Verse 1]
Knowing my reward
(I love him)
When he returns, hey
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Keeps me hanging on
(Keeps me hanging on)
Oh, so I'll wait

[Chorus]
I'll wait
(I'll wait)
Though friends, they ridicule
(Friends, they ridicule)
You know for him there is no substitute
(I'll wait)
So talk I can endure
(Talk I can endure)

[Verse 2]
No matter what
(I love him)
They do or say
(Hеy, hey, hey, hey, hеy)
Can't drive me away, oh
(Can't drive me away)
So I'll wait
(Hey, hey, wait for me, pretty baby)
(Hey, hey, wait for me, pretty baby)

[Bridge]
Joy, it will be mine, in just a matter of time
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Once again, he'll be mine, oh
I've got to wait
(Hey, hey, wait for me, pretty baby)

[Chorus]
I'll wait
(I'll wait)
Though heartaches multiply
(Heartaches multiply)
You know I've got to keep on holding on
(I'll wait)
'Cause heartbreak's standing by
(Heartbreak's standing by)

[Verse 3]
And when Father Time is dead and gone
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll be holding on
(I'll be holding on)
Keep on holding on, oh
(Keep on holding on)
I've got to wait
(Hey, hey, wait for me, pretty baby)

[Outro]
I'll wait
(I'll wait)
Hey, I'll wait
(I'll wait)
Hey, hey, hey, I've got to be
(Hey, hey, wait for me, pretty baby)
I'll wait
(I'll wait)
Oh, I'll wait
(I'll wait)
