WISH YOU WERE WAITIN' FOR ME

as rec by Anita O'Day w Stan Kenton & his Orch 
Nov 30th 1944 Hollywood (radio)


Happy faces, anxious faces,
The laughter and tears of a crowd;
Each one busy with his own thoughts,
Yet I dare to think out loud!

There you stand alone at the station,
Looking at every face you see;
Gee, somebody is lucky,
Wish you were waitin' for me!

Walkin' back and forth, kinda worried,
Wondering who that someone can be;
Gee, somebody is lucky,
Wish you were waitin' for me!

I see it clearly,
Your arms around me,
I thrill to your touch;
I see it clearly,
Ah me!  I dream too much!

If only I had you to run to,
Honest, I'd never let you go free!
Gee, somebody is lucky,
Wish you were waitin' for me!

Gee, somebody is lucky,
Wish you were waitin' for me!

I see it clearly,
Your arms around me
And I thrill to your touch;
I see it clearly,
Ah me!  I dream too much!

If only I had you to run to,
Honest, I'd never let you go free!
Gee, somebody is lucky,
Wish you were waitin' for me!
Wish you were waitin' for me!
Wish you were waitin' for me!
