You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
That's what you said to me,
You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
Just you wait and see.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
You'll take me in your arms,
You'll pick me up and carry me
To a bed with you, safe and warm.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
We'll never be apart,
You'll take me up and spin me around,
And enclose me in your heart.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight
After your long and trying journey,
You'll be waiting just like you said you would,
And I'll come for you, you'll see.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
That's what you said to me,
But I've been here for many nights
And you haven't appeared, you see.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
This you promised me,
But I can't wait for you forever,
So I must move on and let you be.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
But I search for you no longer,
I spend my nights with him,
But for you I'll always hunger.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight
You promised so long ago,
So when I couldn't stand him any more
I went out into the moonlit snow.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
That's what you said to me,
And now, here, many months late,
You are what I see.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
And now here you are at last,
You pick me up and spin me around,
And all my waiting is in the past.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
And finally you're here,
You tell me that you're sorry,
And we both shed a tear.

You'll be waiting in the moonlight,
This you promised would be,
And now we never have to be apart,
And I love you with all that is me.
