092 - I Will Wait For You
Verse 1
If it takes for-ev-er I will wait for you,
for a thou-sand sum-mers I will wait for you;
‘til you’re back be-side me ‘til I’m hold-ing you
‘til I hear you sigh, here in my arms.
Verse 2
An-y where you wan-der an-y where you go,
ev-‘ry day re-mem-ber how I love you so,
in your heart be-lieve what in my heart I know
that for-ev-er more I’ll wait for you.
[Interlude]
The clock will tick a-way the hours – one by one
and then the time will come when all the wait-ing’s done;
the time when you re-turn and find me here and run,
s-t-r-a-i-g-h-t to my wait-ing arms.
Verse 3
If it takes for-ev-er I will wait for you,
for a thou-sand sum-mers I will wait for you;
‘til you’re here be-side me ‘til I’m touch-ing you
and for-ev-er more shar-ing your love.
[Tag]
And for-ev-er more shar-ing your love.
