"I'll Be Waiting" lyrics

When the cock crows in the morning
On another red letter day
I'll be a busy bee, honey
I'll be working hard for my pay
And in the cold light of the evening
When you just can't find your way
I'll be a stargazer, darling
I'm gonna search 'til we find our way
And when the apple trees are blooming
And there's a new child on the way
I'll be an ass-beater, honey
I'm gonna work hard night and day

I'll be waiting
Oh, waiting patiently
No hesitating
When you call me I'll be ready

And when the blue night blacks above you
And your old ghosts come out to play
I'll be Dan Aykroyd, honey
I'm gonna chase those ghouls away
But when the long nights twist and turning
And even sleep won't find you, babe
I'll tell you stories from the city
I'll take you half a world away

I'll be waiting
Oh, waiting patiently
No hesitating
Oh, when you call me I'll be ready
I'll be waiting
Oh, waiting patiently
No hesitating
Oh, when you call me I'll be ready
I'll be ready
Oh, babe
