I kissed my penny and I threw it in, I prayed I keep my soul
Went down to the river where the water bends
The 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
Standing at the water's edge, the Mississippi's overflowing
Hold your current in my hands, you bring the meaning to my moments
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
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
I know it's just as hard in heaven
My evergreen, my evergreen, my evergreen
