Lyrics

Seven o’clock and he’s late
Nevertheless, I guess I’ll wait
He will be there
He will be there

Under a rainy sky
Millions of faces just pass me by
But I don’t care
He will be there

He will be there
I know he won’t let me down
He’s not the kind of boy
Who’d leave a girl to hang around

Maybe there’s something wrong
Maybe his work just took too long
He will be there
He will be there

He will be there
He makes dreams seem possible
And when he held me tight
He promised me we’d meet tonight

Oh darling, remember
Please don’t let me down
I stayed with you last night
You made it feel so right, so right, hey

Freezing with cold and it’s late
I look at the time and I hesitate
Does he still care?
Will he be there?

Oh, please be there
Didn’t think you’d let me down
You’re not the kind of boy
Who’d leave a girl to hang around

Oh, please be there,
Feel so sad, I want to cry
If he don’t come on time,
I still believe he will be there

Oh darling, you promised,  don’t let me down
(He will be there)
Oh darling, you promised, don’t let me down
(He will be there)
Oh darling, you promised, don’t let me down
(He will be there)
(He will be there)
