Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Along about the evenin', I feel so blue
And though my heart is grievin', I'll wait for you
I'm writin' you a letter 'cause our love's so true
Although I'm sad and lonely, I'll wait for you
[Chorus]
When the moon was high and the lights were low
That's the time when you and I said our love would grow
If you ever get the notion, you'll miss me too
Make it in a hurry, I'll wait for you
[Verse 2]
'Round 'bout the midnight, I miss you so
So baby, won't you do right? I'll wait for you
You need my arms around you to hold you tight
I'll give you all my lovin', both day and night
[Chorus]
When the moon is high and the lights are low
That's the time when you and I know our love will grow
If you ever get the notion, you'll miss me too
Just make it in a hurry, I'll wait for you
