The sun waits to set
In case the moon should forget
That it's her turn to shine
And springtime waits to bloom
Til old man winter's through
Being so unkind
And I've seen my share of seasons come and go
Just praying for the chance to let you know
I've been waiting for you for all this time
Been hoping you'd wait for me
And the lesson I've learned is love always returns when it's true
And I'm so glad I waited for you
Yeah yeah...
They say good things come to those who wait
You're my living proof
The way you came to me
You offered me your heart and soul
Took this half and made it whole
And finally I know the reason why
I've been waiting for you for all this time
Been hoping you'd wait for me
And the lesson I've learned is love always returns when it's true
And I'm so glad I waited for you
La da da da da da...
So let's walk this world together falling deeper every day
Until this road leads us to heaven and we hear the good Lord say
I've been waiting for you for all this time
Been hoping you'd wait for me, ohh...
And the lesson I've learned is love always returns when it's true
And I'm so glad I waited for you
For all this time
Hoping you'd wait for me
And the lesson I've learned is love always returns when it's true
And I'm so glad I waited for you...
