Looking back over a lifetime
Of strangers before you were mine
'til i found you at the crossroads
I thought i was losing my mind
I'd look at all of the faces
Holding out fur yours
Wanting you here
Oh, the waiting years
Where did you spend the waiting years
Love letters we can't remember
Summers that changed who we are
I picture same of the places
Knowing if i could i'd go back with you
It seemed ta take forever
Before we'd he together
Love af my life
It's hard to believe that you're here
Oh, the waiting years
This is the end
Of lonely streets that lead nowhere
And tired half-hearted love affairs
An empty room without a view
Nothing then compares to you
Oh, the waiting years
Where did you spend the waiting years
'cause if i knew you then
Baby, i'd want you like i want you right now
And if you turned me down
Baby, you know i'd get to you somehow
Where were you then
The waiting years
