If I Should Wander Back Tonight - Chris Thile, Michael Daves

For many years I’ve been a rolling stone, my darling

Like a gypsy I have roamed from place to place

Fortune never came for me, Lord, how happy I would be

Just to look again upon your smiling face

If I should wander back tonight would you be waiting?

Would your eyes be filled with love’s own tender light?

Would your arms be empty, dear, would you thrill to find me here?

Would you love me if I wandered back tonight?

When budding flowers lend their fragrance to the springtime

I recall the roses twining 'round your door

Fancy then I homeward stay as I seem to hear you say

That you love me as you did in days of yore

If I should wander back tonight would you be waiting?

Would your eyes be filled with love’s own tender light?

Would your arms be empty, dear, would you thrill to find me here?

Would you love me if I wandered back tonight?

Last night I dreamed that you and I were back together

And I held your hand so gently in my own

I heard you say we’d never part as I pressed you to my heart

And I woke up again to find myself alone

If I should wander back tonight would you be waiting?

Would your eyes be filled with love’s own tender light?

Would your arms be empty, dear, would you thrill to find me here?

Would you love me if I wandered back tonight?

If I should wander back tonight would you be waiting?

Would your eyes be filled with love’s own tender light?

Would your arms be empty, dear, would you thrill to find me near?

Would you love me if I wandered back tonight?

Oh, would you love me if I wandered back tonight?
