Hello Folks,

After reading several threads I thought it might be interesting to post a few lesser known songs and have folks date them.

Date this one. Was it written twenty years ago...thirty? one hundred? Take a shot.

"Will You Be Waiting"

As I sailed from the harbour

The early grey morn

In my soul I was wishing

I never was born

And if your love is true love

As the sky and the sea

Will you be mine forever

As you once promised me.

CHRS.

And as I sail on these waters so blue

My heart and my thoughts love

Are for you and only you

Oh why must I feel doubt love

Each time I leave the shore

Will you be waiting to meet me

When I sail home once more.

Oh the sea is gently heaving

An the stars are all a gleam

As the ice fields lay waiting

In their cold northern stream

And as I think of you love

As I do constantly

Will you keep your heart open

Will there be room for me.

Jim

I would also guess it was written by someone born in 1950 plus or minus 5 years.
