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
