WAITING

[INTRO]

VERSE 1:
You say you need some time
And ask me if I mind
But time is all I have
And all that I can find.

You said it once again
And I took it on the chin
Hoping you'll come around
Oh baby, where have you been...

Cuz here I sit alone
Biding my time
By the phone
Hoping you'll change your mind
And that you'll come on home.

CHORUS:
Waiting
Is all I can do
For you
To clear your mind
And find
My heart is true.

Waiting
What am I supposed to do
I'm simply doing time
Waiting here
For you...

...I'm waiting.

VERSE 2:
Until that day comes by
My life will be a lie
I'll be trying to deny
Feelings I have that will not die.

So if you change your mind
Just call me on the line
I think you know how I'll reply
If you want another try...

So here I sit by the phone
Killing time
On the quiet end
Hoping you'll come on home
So we can start again.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

BRIDGE:
We'll build our lives together
Our happiness will never end
Every day, perfect weather
Our broken hearts will surely mend.

And the wounds inside will heal
Because nothing can contend
With the power of love we feel
You know... you truly are my best friend...

CHORUS:
So I'll be
Waiting
It's all I can do
Until
You clear the way
To find
My heart is true.

I'll be waiting
What more would you have me do
I'm still
I'm still counting time just waiting
Just waiting here for you...

...I'm waiting.
