| Lyrics | (Watch, Hope and Wait) Little Girl (I’m Coming Back to You) Verse: Dearie I can hardly write I’m so overjoyed tonight. Oh, what wondrous news No more cause for blues. All the world looks bright, In my dreams I now can see, Happy days for you and me. Though I’m here have no fear, For it’s all over here. Refrain: Watch it little girl and hope little girl, and wait, little girl for me. Smile little girl, all the while little girl, though I’m across the sea. Give my love to Ma. Say “hello” to Pa. I’m not there but dear I know how overjoyed you are. It means little girl, that our dreams little girl, are surely coming true. We have won little girl, our duty’s done little girl, I’m coming back to you. Verse: We’ll stroll down the lane once more, As we did in days of yore. And we’ll climb the hill Leading to the mill Like we did before. There’s a little cottage there, Roses blooming ev’ry where. In the spring, birds will sing, And wedding bells will ring. Refrain |
