Evergreen

I kissed my penny and I threw it in

I prayed I'd 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

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
