I'm looking for a star tonight,
The star we looked for long ago.
I'm wondering how you are tonight,
I hope that you're alright,
And want you to know, dear;

I shall be waiting
As the days go slowly by,
I shall be waiting,
Though the poppies bloom and die.
Each day at sunset, and with every morning too,
I won't forget to say a prayer for you.

In the firelight gleamimg,
Your face I seem to see;
My eyes grow dim with dreaming,
You are so near to me.
I shall be waiting,
Though the years may come and go,
I shall be waiting, 
Dear, I love you so!

I shall be waiting,
Though the years may come and go,
I shall be waiting, 
Dear, I love you so!

I shall be waiting,
Though the years may come and go,
I shall be waiting, 
Dear, I love you so!
