lyrics
[VERSE 1]
What now are we waiting for?
Time’s the strange keeper of all that’s in store.
Rushing, then waiting, then begging for more,
Watching the clock on the one you adore.
Time standing still as the cold,
as stories surface from yesterday.
Whispering how it should go,
But no one can know. No one knows.
[CHORUS 1]
And here I lay another day, all alone but you’re with me.
The night so long till morning’s dawn, but it’s not hard to believe,
That you will be my guiding light until the sun has cast its rays.
You’ll love me till the end I know, forever and always.
[VERSE 2]
What then are we doing now?
As questions swirl in my mind asking how.
Memories and silence all sounding too loud,
But I’ll make you proud as you’ve made me proud.
[CHORUS 2]
And here I stand once again, all alone but you’re with me.
The pain so strong, all hope is gone, but it’s not hard to believe,
That you will be my guiding light until the sun won’t cast its rays.
I’ll love you till the end you know, forever and always.
[MUSICAL INTERLUDE]
[CHORUS 3]
And here we are, we’ve come so far, never alone cause you’re with me.
I call your name, and say Amen, with gratitude on bended knee,
That you will be my guiding light from now until my dying day.
You’ll love me till the end I know, forever and always.
I’ll love you till the end you know, forever and always.
And always.
