Dear friend, there's a story goin' round says you're gonna be married soon But you've been sayin' that for years, and there can be no wedding without a groom You said he's gone away to make a place for you and Him Oh you know He's gonna come back, but you just don't know when Chorus: Dear friends He is not slow in keeping His promises As some understand slowness to be Keep a watch out, don't lose faith, He said He would come for you He's gonna come for you, you wait and see Dear friend, people joke, they laugh and they make fun When you tell 'em all about the groom who's gonna come He's been gone a long long time, are there any doubts to confess Do you wonder if you're ever gonna wear that wedding dress Chorus solo Chorus
