The snow in Montana

was three feet high

Lady at the counter said,

"There ain't no flights"

So he called her on the telephone,

He said I'll rent a car

And I'll drive home.

She said,

I'll wait for you

like I did last year

At Christmas time

with your family here,

And your truck broke down

Out in San Antone

And the gifts stayed wrapped

Till you got home,

Oh this ain't nothing new,

Sweetheart I'll wait for you.

Now he's on his cell phone

In a Coupe deVille

Talking to the one he loves

and always will

His heart is breaking

Cause she's there alone

Her heart is aching

Cause she wants him home

She says

i'll wait for you

Like in '68

when our child was due

I said it'll will have to wait

Until his dad gets here,

And stands by my side,

Remember dear

our son's first cry

Oh this ain't nothing new,

Sweetheart I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day

To eat a bite,

And he finally got there

around midnight

The doctor said she's in a better place

She said to give you this note,

Just in case.

And it said

I'll wait for you

At heaven's gate,

Oh I don't care

how long it takes

And I'll tell St. Pete

I can't come in

Without my love

and my best friend,

Oh this ain't nothing new,

Sweetheart I'll wait for you

P.S. I love you too

Sweatheart (spoken)

I'll wait for you...
