I Will Wait For You lyrics

If you have to go to Paris in the spring

If it’s not time for you to wear this ring

If you need time to clear your mind until you have a clue

I will wait for you

If you need another month to think

If you need an even stronger drink

If your fears convince you you are bound to break in two

I will wait for you

Years ago you couldn’t pin me down

I was running running all over town

I couldn’t hear the sweet sound

Of your voice

If you’re afraid and all that you can hear

Is your heartbeat and the blood inside your ears

If worry is an ocean and you’re drowning in the blue

I will wait for you

If your eyes won’t close until the dawn

If you still need all the curtains drawn

When you can’t stop thinkin bout the drop of the other shoe

I will wait for you

It’s not fair to say I should move on

It’s your terror not me who will be gone

Until that day comes I’ll just sing songs

For you

Highways and restaurants

Airplanes and coffee shops

Bookstores and museums overseas

Crowded parks and laundromats

Elevators railroad flats

They’ll be there when you’re back up on your feet

The world continues to spin

Where you’ll be is not where you have been

One April day all the clouds’ll part

And you will hear the music of your heart

Til you’ve the urge to reemerge and come back into view

I will wait for you

In forty years if you’re still around

If you’re in our house while I am in the ground

If I reach the holy gates of heaven before you do

I will wait for you
