Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
I can’t forget that night we met
How bright were skies above
That precious mem’ry lingers yet
When you declared your love
And then you went away
And now each night and day
Chorus
I wonder why you keep me waiting
Charmaine, my Charmaine
I wonder when bluebirds are mating
Will you come back again
I wonder if I keep on praying
Will our dreams be the same
I wonder if you ever think of me, too
I am waiting, my Charmaine, for you
