Stranded on the side
On the side of a stream
Where the lilies float
Where the water's deep
Where I must cross
To get to you

Don't give up
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
I'll soon have courage
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
Wait awhile

Walk into the stream
Where the deeper I go
I must swim
On the other side
I see you there
Like you just don't care

Don't go without m
e I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
Please don't forget me
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile

Don't give up
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
I'll soon have courage
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
Don't go without me
I'm almost there
Just wait awhile
Please don't forget me
I'm almost there
