Waiting on June. Beautiful song, Makes me cry listening to this. I lost my parents on the same day years apart. I film spirit's in the sky's. I've been homeless for a couple years and miss my mother very much, it feels like a part of my soul is empty. I reached out to this administration And was ignored and had everything taken from me. I don't want to die but I can't Live much longer. Being alone and walking All over the country. Being denied shelter in Various places and not settling anywhere. Thanks again Holly Biggest fan, will

The Williams tradition of beautiful, EMOTIONAL songwriting and singing continues! This song is wonderful and your voice is fantastic! I can't imagine how you can make a God filled song about the love and lives of two people and their families, AMAZING! It brought such melancholy and loving tears! Reminds me so much of my own parents. I am 76 and have enjoyed Hank Williams all my life, literally. The first music I remember hearing at home was a Hank record on Mom's old windup victrolla. Then Hank, Jr. and all his rowdy friends lived in my life for many years. My brother, who was born in 1953, after your grandfather died, went on to follow The Drifting Cowboys, took up the steel guitar and dobro, became a lifelong member of the fan club, a devotee of Don Helms and was at the 100th birthday commeration.

Holly, paying your dues is a tough ride.....your "character" has been proven by your hard work that sometimes doesn't seem to pay off. Your success has already been proven, even if not yet recognized properly. You are who YOU are and that will never change...

Holly's music has some feel......Holly, you helped me through a terrible divorce back in 2005 (or so) with your music and an email message.....and because of that, me and my Ex-wife and my daughter are best friends today! signed ceejayfonteneaux. (I "learned to get better"). Tell your Mom that she is a sweetheart.....I know it's true because I heard it from Hank Jr. one time in Bossier City, LA.

She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge I fell in love in a week or two, It didn't take long to love a girl like that We were barely ten in the cotton fields Playing horseshoe with the coloured kids I tried to kiss her, she grabbed a baseball bat I was waiting on June, I hope she comes to see me Waiting on June, I can't take this feeling Waiting on June, I pray to God she'll love me one of these days I hope I find my way waiting on June I went off in '42 to fight those boys and pay my dues Her wallet picture kept my spirits high Charley boy died in my arms, he saw Jesus, I saw blood It soaked her wallet picture that cold night Well I told my best friend Charley I would kiss his girl goodbye He made me promise I'd go home and make miss June my wife Shaking like a drunk old fool, I hopped off of that plane And I ran home to ask her in the rain Waiting on June, I hope that she says yes Waiting on June, in her faded summer dress Waiting on June, her daddy shook my hand And she lit up the moment I pulled out that silver band Waiting on June Well we married at the Methodist Church Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt With pecan trees to build our homestead on Jolynn, Becky, then Donna, then Shelby, Our tiny house was a sanctuary Laughter filled those rooms all day long Waiting on June, she's putting on her makeup Waiting on June, she's trying to get her hair curled Waiting on June, kids listen to me You walk on down to Sunday school, I'll be there in 15 Waiting on June Well time flew by like they said it would Yeah the kids grew fast and the farm did good Mrs. Bertha made our supper everyday At noon that silver bell would ring We'd all say grace and dig on in We always ate together in those days One by one those kids went off and found a love of their own There's nothing like the joy I knew when they brought their babies home We'd play all day in the cotton fields with the dogs I raised up right And end in grandma's kitchen every night Waiting on June, honey don't burn the bacon Waiting on June, our bellies are a-aching Waiting on June, she turns that fork so slow And we all had to sit there 'til the last bite was no more Waiting on June We were slower than we used to be, the nursing home told June and me That we'd have separate rooms side by side, Oh what I'd give for one more night of sleeping with my wife, Since '45 I've touched her skin in the middle of the night So I'm lyin' in this single bed until they cut the lights, That's when she'll sneak in and I'll be fine Waiting on June, so we can kiss goodnight Waiting on June, I'll hold her hand so tight Waiting on June, I'll love her 'til I die It's bittersweet when love grows old and you really miss your wife Waiting on June Well they buried me last Tuesday morn, The good Lord came, He took me home, I closed my eyes and quickly went away But the angels let me see her everyday Waiting on June, our mansion is so grand Waiting on June, footprints in the sand Waiting on June, that's the story of my life Cause me and Jesus are standing here 'til she walks through that light Waiting on June I'm still waiting on June, I'm always waiting on June. No more waiting on June Source: LyricFind

Stephen Thompson on NPR recommended Holly Williams in an article about another American heartbreaker, "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman. I was born in 1952, always loved Chapman, and see unkindness too often these days-it was always there but I have had a lucky life. This song reminds me how fortunate I am to be married to my husband since 1974. Fifty years next year. Holly, you made me cry and cry. Feeling is good.
