I Will Wait

I will wait till the sun falls down
Till the moon goes away in a frown
I will wait till my name is no longer a noun
Till my dress is no longer a gown
Till I no longer live in a town
But I'm six feet under the ground
I will wait

I will wait for at least a whisper
Till I escape the music at the bar
When I don’t have to read a star
Till I feel your voice not far
And my thoughts it does mar
Till I hear your call and say sir
And i'm sure it's you father
I will wait

I will wait till it's clear you never forsake
Clear as the lake
For indeed I you did make
And yes it was a piece of cake
But your breath for me you did take
And have loved me for my own sake
So here I am wide awake
Till my thoughts you overtake
And I will wait for eternity, make no mistake
This is me saying I love you (a retake)
