Lyrics

Wait for Me - Anne E. DeChant 2010

He walked up with his heart pounding to ask her to the dance
Yes she said I’ll go with you before he got the chance
Flying down a country road in his daddy’s beat up Ford
Going to pick her up when that old rusty truck broke down he prayed dear Lord

Tell her wait for me I’ll be there soon
When we get where we’re going we’re gonna dance across the moon

Love like that it happens fast there were wedding bells in June
By early fall she was painting walls to make a baby’s room
She called him when the time had come but he was on the road
On a Pennsylvania turnpike a thousand miles from home he prayed

Wait for me I’ll be there soon
When I see our baby I will dance across the moon

As it is in life and love one goes before the other
She left him on a Tuesday a wife a friend a mother
Now an old man walks to a grave he still wears his wedding band
Bows before his only love and folds his trembling hands and prays

Wait for me I’ll be there soon
When I kiss your face again we’ll dance across the moon
