For many years I've been a rolling stone, my darling
Like a gypsy I have roamed from place to place
Fortune never came to me
How happy I would be just to look again
Upon your smiling face

If I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love's sweet tender light?
Would your arms be empty, dear? would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if I wander back tonight?

When budding flowers lend their fragrance in the springtime
I recall the roses that are blooming around your door
Fancy then I'd homeward stray and I'd hear you softly say
That you love me as you did in the days before

If I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love's sweet tender light?
Would your arms be empty, dear? Would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if I wander back tonight?

Last night I dreamed that you and I were back together
And I held your hand so gently in my own
Heard you say we'd never part, as I pressed you to my heart
Then I woke in tears to find myself alone

If I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love's sweet tender light?
Would your arms be empty, dear? Would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if I wander back tonight?

If I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love's sweet tender light?
Would your arms be empty, dear? Would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if I wander back tonight?
