IVerse 1
The bus pulls out at half past nine,
You wave goodbye and I try not to cry,
Three months apart is a mighty long time,
But I’ll be countin’ every day till you’re mine again
Pre-Chorus
So keep my picture close to your heart,
Remember every word, remember every start,
‘Cause I’ll be right here…
Chorus
Waitin’ for you, darlin’, waitin’ for you,
No matter what the summer puts us through,
I’ll write you letters, every single day,
And dream about the words I couldn’t say,
I’ll be true, I’ll be true,
Waitin’, darlin’, waitin’ for you
Verse 2
The radio plays our favorite song,
And every time I hear it I sing along,
I close my eyes and I’m back on that shore,
Where you kissed me once and I wanted more
Pre-Chorus
So keep my picture close to your heart,
Remember every word, remember every start,
‘Cause I’ll be right here…
Chorus
Waitin’ for you, darlin’, waitin’ for you,
No matter what the summer puts us through,
I’ll write you letters, every single day,
And dream about the words I couldn’t say,
I’ll be true, I’ll be true,
Waitin’, darlin’, waitin’ for you
Bridge (softer, half-spoken, strings swell)
And if the miles get too long,
And if my heart starts singin’ the wrong song,
I’ll just close my eyes and see your face,
And know that no one else could take your place…
Final Chorus (fuller arrangement, key change up a step)
Waitin’ for you, darlin’, waitin’ for you,
No matter what the summer puts us through,
I’ll write you letters, every single day,
And dream about the words I couldn’t say,
I’ll be true, I’ll be true,
Waitin’, darlin’… waitin’ for you…
(fade on strings and a soft “waitin’ for you
