Jimmy Scott - Hachiko\'s Song (Waiting For Someone) lyrics

rate me

There once was a man

So an old story goes

Went to the station

Every day rain or snow

His faithful dog

Would walk right by his side

Sit there and wait

Til he came home at night

And when the man died

The dog still would go

To the station each day

Why, no one knows

He was waiting for someone he loved

Waiting for someone he loved

Someone he believed in

Someone he could trust

Day after day

Waiting for someone he loved

Days turned to weeks

And months turned to years

Trains came and went

But the dog still appeared

Hoping to see that face he adored

His old true companion

The one he lived for

And then came the night

When the dog finally died

Now I know he's there walking

By his masters side

He's been waiting for someone he loved

Waiting for someone he loved

Someone he believed in

Someone he could trust

Don't you think humans

Could learn from that dog

Now I don't know about all of you

But I wish that my heart was so true

To think he could miss him that much

He spent all his life

Waiting for someone he loved

Waiting for someone he loved
