Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
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
Refrain
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
