I Will Wait For You Sheet Music Michel Legrand

Lyrics I Will Wait For You from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

I Will Wait For You

If it takes forever 
I will wait for you 
For a thousand summers 
I will wait for you 
Till you’re back beside me 
Till I’m holding you 
Till I hear you sigh 
Here in my arms 

Anywhere you wonder 
Anywhere you go 
Everyday remember 
How I love you so 
In your heart believe what 
In my heart I know 
That forever more 
I’ll wait for you 

If it takes forever 
I will wait for you 
For a thousand summers 
I will wait for you 

If it takes forever 
I will wait for you 
For a thousand summers 
I will wait for you 
Till you’re back beside me 
Till I’m holding you 
Until I hear you sigh 
Here in my arms .
