Afri-Tunes Anniversary Week| Wait for Me by Johnny Drille| Cover by Mary Bello

Great Hiveans and my amazing Afri-tuners. It's Anniversary week and I am so super excited. And because of that mood I chose a song that I love.

So unlike every other week. I chose to do something a little different from what I initially wanted to stick to, but also because I love Afri-tunes so much. I decided to do one of my favourite love song by one of my favourite Artist in the person of Johnny Drille, the song "wait for me".
This song particularly reminds me of someone who I know can never come back, but whose memory lives on.

Lyrics: Wait for me by Johnny Drille

I don't know when I'm coming back
I'll be gone for a little while
But I will keep myself for me and you
I'll be back for you
I don't know what the future brings
But I want you to be with me
I go dey hope and pray say make you wait for me
Cause I'll come back for you

Darling
You hold my love
You are my prize
And I'll run to the finish line
My love I no go leave you run
I no go bounce your call
You'll be always on my mind
Yeah yeah

I'll be so far away
Promise you'll wait for me
I go think of you everyday
My love, yeah yeah
I may not come today
But I'll be with you again
I go dey pray for you everyday
My love, yeah yeah

As I'm leaving you behind
I'm gonna miss your smile
And the joy you bring to my wretched soul
Your love it makes me whole
This our love will never die
Darling promise you will be mine
You see I dey do this thing
For you and me
I'll come back for you

Darling
You hold my love
You are my prize
And I'll run to the finish line
My love I no go leave you run
I no go bounce your call
You'll be always on my mind
Yeah yeah

I'll be so far away
Promise you'll wait for me
I go think of you everyday
My love, yeah yeah
I may not come today
But I'll be with you again
I go dey pray for you everyday
My love, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah...

I'll be so far away
Promise you'll wait for me
I go think of you everyday
My love, yeah yeah
I may not come today
But I'll be with you again
I go dey pray for you everyday
My love, yeah yeah

My love
I think of you tonight
Cause I no dey by your side
Just wait a little while, yeah
Know that I'm alright
And I'll see you soon
Make you wait for me, my dear
