Lyrics
I Will Wait For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day, remember how I love you so
In your heart you got to believe me, what in my heart I know
That forevermore, I'll wait for you
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day, remember, baby, how I love you so
Till your heart inside you believes what in my heart I know
That forevermore, I'll wait for you
If it takes forever, I'm gonna wait, oh, yeah
For a thousand, thousand summers, I got to wait for you
Yeah, till you're back beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore, forevermore
Yeah, baby, I'm gonna wait for you
Hey, baby, don't you see I'm gonna wait?
I'm gonna wait on you
I've got to wait on you
Always waiting for you
Come on back, I'm waiting for you
I'm gonna stand right here and wait
I don't care how long it takes
