I kissed my penny and I threw it in
I prayed I′d keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bendsThe only place I know
Oh I can't see
The forest, for the trees
So, will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Standin′ at the water's edge
The Mississippi's overflowin′ (yeah)
Hold your current in my hands
You bring the meanin′ to my moments
Oh-oh (ohh) I-ee-I (can't see)
The forest for the trees
So, will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
My evergreen
Oh, I can′t see
The forest, for the trees
Oh, I feel so
Hopeless against the stream
So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
I know it's just as hard in Heaven
So, will you wait for me? My evergreen
I know it′s just as hard
My evergreen
Evergreen
My evergreen
