I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
ALONE IN A FORTRESS OF SORROW AND PAIN ~ THERE LIVED A MAN WITH A COLD DARK HEART.
EVER SHACKLED BY FEAR OF THE LIGHT ~ AND THE WORLD WAS FORBIDDEN INSIDE.
LIKE A BEACON OF WONDER AND HOPE ~ WITH A SPIRIT TO QUELL HIS FEARS
CAME A LADY TO OFFER HER HAND ~ AND THEIR JOURNEY BEGAN…
AND DARE HE TO ASK WHY TILL NOW SHE STOOD GUARD OF HER HEART LIKE A JEWEL
AND SHE SMILED AND REPLIED… I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
LONG GONE ARE THE NIGHTS HE AWAKENED ALONE ~ FOR IN HIS ARMS SHE LAY SOFT AND WARM.
BY A VOW THEY’RE FOREVER ENTWINED ~ WITH A LOVE THAT GREW SWEETER WITH TIME.
ALL AT ONCE HE WAS SUMMONED TO WAR ~ AND RETURNED TO HER TRAMPLED AND TORN.
WITH A BURDEN UPON HER TO BEAR ~ AND HIS LIFE LEFT TO PRAYER…
AND THERE SHE REMAINED BY HIS SIDE AS EACH SUN ROSE AND FELL TILL HE OPENED HIS EYES
AND SHE CRIED… I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
SO NOW JUST AS SURE AS THE SEASONS HAD TURNED ~ FOR THEIR LOVE THEY WERE 3 TIMES BLESSED.
ALL THE RICHES OF LIFE TO BEHOLD ~ AND MORE JOY THAN ONE MAN SHOULD KNOW.
DAYS BECAME YEARS AND YEARS SLIPPED AWAY ~ TILL A COLD WINTER MORN SHE PASSED.
NOW THE MAN WITH THE BROKEN HEART CRIES ~ AND LIVES ONLY TO DIE.
NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD HE PREPARES FOR HIS LADY TO WELCOME HIM HOME
AND SHE SPEAKS TO HIM TRUE… I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
WAITING FOR YOU… WAITING FOR… YOU.
