lyrics
Long days and nights
That stretch on for years
Patience keeps me company
While time disappears
Some would say we're holding out
For a fantasy
But what's the use in makin' do
When I dream of makin' love with you?
I've been waiting for a lover to rise
Rise up and show me
I've been waiting for a woman to shine
Shine down and set this poor boy free
Long day of flying
That puts her in reach
But I keep my distance from this powerful maybe
Convinced that I shouldn't speak
Could she be my saving grace
That I'm failing to see?
But what's the use in dreaming loud
If I let this angel walk away from me?
I've been waiting for a lover to rise
Rise up and show me
I've been waiting for a woman to shine
Shine down and set this poor boy free
You couldn't let me go
I guess I should've known
You shook the world 'round me
Funny how these things work out
Thank God you let it out
'Cause this is what love should be
That stretch on for years
Patience keeps me company
While time disappears
Some would say we're holding out
For a fantasy
But what's the use in makin' do
When I dream of makin' love with you?
I've been waiting for a lover to rise
Rise up and show me
I've been waiting for a woman to shine
Shine down and set this poor boy free
Long day of flying
That puts her in reach
But I keep my distance from this powerful maybe
Convinced that I shouldn't speak
Could she be my saving grace
That I'm failing to see?
But what's the use in dreaming loud
If I let this angel walk away from me?
I've been waiting for a lover to rise
Rise up and show me
I've been waiting for a woman to shine
Shine down and set this poor boy free
You couldn't let me go
I guess I should've known
You shook the world 'round me
Funny how these things work out
Thank God you let it out
'Cause this is what love should be
