[Verse 1]
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait
For I must go far away
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait
Till I come back home to stay

[Verse 2]
Should another love come along, come along
Simply say that you're not free
Send him on his way, on his way, on his way
Darlin', won't you wait for me

[Bridge]
Oh, my love, some of us I know are bound to die
Oh, my love, how it breaks my heart to say goodbye
Oh, my love, when I'm far away I'll miss you so
Hold me close, kiss me once again before I go

[Verse 3]
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait
For I must go far away
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait
Till I come back home to stay

[Verse 4]
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait (Oh, my love)
For I must go far away (Some of us I know are bound to die)
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait (Oh, my love)
Till I come back home to stay (How it breaks my heart to say goodbye)
[Verse 5]
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait (Oh, my love)
For I must go far away (Some of us I know are bound to die)
Darlin', won't you wait, won't you wait, won't you wait (Oh, my love)
Till I comе back home to stay (How it breaks my heart to say goodbyе)

[Verse 6]
Should another love come along, come along (Oh, my love)
Simply say that you're not free (When I'm far away I'll miss you so)
Send him on his way, on his way, on his way (Hold me close)
Darlin', won't you wait for me (Kiss me once again before I go)

[Outro]
Oh, my love, wait for me
Darlin', won't you wait
