I’ll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
We’ll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free
At the corner drugstore
Each Saturday we would meet (we would meet)
I’d walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things we’ll repeat
So darling, as I write this letter
Here’s hoping you’re thinking of me My mind’s made up So long until I’ll be home to start serving you
I’ll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
I’d walk you home in the moonlight
Once more our love will be free
Darling, as I write this letter, here’s hoping you’re
Thinking of me. My mind’s made up so long until I’ll be home
To start serving you
I’ll be home, my darling
Please wait for me (wait for me)
I’ll walk you home in the moonlight
Once more our love will be free
After sixty years, this song still gives me chills every time I play it. I always felt this was the very best example of doo wop, although there are many beautiful ones. To anyone just discovering this genre, in addition to many other songs by this group, look up Lee Andrews and the Hearts, the Ink Spots, the Platters, oh, heck, too many to list; just explore.
