I'Ll Be Here Waiting For You

I'll be here waiting for you You think, you're on your own... going through hard times, and your all alone... You never thought, someone would be there... don't you know I care? You've had a hard time, with trust all your dreams, seem, to have turned to dust Give me, a chance to finally prove it all, to you, and... bridge I'll be here waiting, waiting for you yes, I'm gonna be here, waiting for you I know, you've got your scars, from trying too hard, to touch the stars and so... if you still, want someone to love... Could I be the one? I've known you, through all these years... always been there, to dry your tears Sometimes, the one you have been searching for, is right in front of you! bridge I'll be here waiting, waiting for you yes, I'm gonna be here, waiting for you It's true, no one, the future can tell... but, there is something, that I know... so well, that you're, the one that, I've always loved... and please know, that my love, is sure, and... bridge I'll be here waiting, waiting for you yes, I'm gonna, be here, waiting for you repeat bridge 2 times fade to zero John Derek Hamilton June 29,2017

Wonderful song. I'd like to hear it with music. The poem alone is so very heart warming.

I just listened to a song that I think these lyrics would go with. It's so good, John. I hope you will record it with music. Carole Duet

Thanks Carol, yes so do I, unfortunately the words come easy the music not so much, thanks for your generous words of encouragement!

I had the tune of Richard Marx 'Right hear waiting for you' spring to mind when I read the title - I love the unrequited love theme and agree 'the one you are searching for is standing right in front of you' it can just take a long time for realisation to dawn.I really love this beautiful lyric and I would love to hear it set to music!!!! :-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Jan, yeah it's true when I was choosing the title, I thought of the Richard Marx song too, can't say mine is as good but similar vibe for sure, I'd like to have music to all of these, that is the goal, but it's a slow process.
