SOMEBODY'S WAITING FOR YOU
(Words by Vincent Bryan. Music by Al. Gumble. 1906.)

In a cool shady nook by the side of the brook,
Two sweet maidens were fishing alone.
They talked as they fished, and the younger girl wished
For the sweetheart she never had known.
The other girl said, with a toss of her head,
"Cheer up, dear. There's no cause to be blue.
Your love you've not met, but he'll come to you yet,
For there's somebody waiting for you."

CHORUS: Somewhere, somebody's waiting for you, you, you.
Somewhere, somebody's longing whose heart is true.
Sometime, you'll love somebody who loves you too.
Somewhere somebody's waiting for you, you, you.

Then a youth, passing by, heard her sister's reply,
And he joined in their chat, half in fun.
He said, "It is true. Someone's waiting for you,
And I wish you thought I was the one."
She paused for a while, and she said with a smile,
"I'm not sure, but you may be, it's true.
But if you are wrong, why, you won't worry long,
For there's somebody waiting for you." CHORUS^^
