I swear I've seen a glimpse of you in your Mother's eyes
Shining like a super moon on the Fourth of July
Patiently you wait for me to get it right
Honey I've been waiting too for nearly all my life
Someday you'll make your way into your Mother's arms
For now I see you hanging from my wishing stars
How I've wondered where and what and who you are
When you'll come along and how you'll steal my heart
But maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine
My finger waits for you to wrap yourself around
To do my best to always keep you safe and sound
To pick you up and dust you off should you fall down
Clementine I'll meet you in my dreams for now
But maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine
Maybe someday you'll be mine
Oh my sweet darling Clementine
