WAIT FOR ME MARY
(Charlie Tobias / Nat Simon/  Harry Tobias)


Dick Haymes & The Song Spinners - 1943
Kate Smith - 1943




 
He sat alone in the still of the night
With thoughts that were far away
He took a pen and he started to write
Just what his heart had to say
 
Wait for me, Mary
Till the world will smile again
Till a smile's in style again
And a dream's worthwhile again

Wait for me, Mary
By the moonlit garden gate
Where my heart and I would wait for you

There are so many things I want to tell you
Little words that I never told before
And I hope that it won't be hard to sell you
All the dreams I have in store

So, wait for me, Mary
Till the world will sing again
Till I bring my love again to you

Wait for me, Mary
Till the world will smile again,
Till a smile's in style again
And a dream's worthwhile again

Wait for me, Mary
By the moonlit garden gate
Where my heart and I would wait for you

There are so many things I want to tell you
Little words that I never told before
And I hope that it won't be hard to sell you
All the dreams I have in store

So, wait for me, Mary
Till the world will sing again
Till I bring my love again to you

Wait for me, Mary
Till the world will sing again
Till I bring my love again to you
