Waiting for you

Been a long long time since I saw you
and it's been so hard for me
but in the cold dark night
I can dream of you,
and it's like you're here with me.

Bridge
Oh the nights can be so lonely
a painful misery
won't you come back to me?

I try so hard not to think of you
and the distance in between
and in the cold dark night
I imagine you
are with me once again.

Bridge
Oh the nights can be so lonely
a painful misery
won't you come back to me?

Chorus
Waiting, waiting for you
to come home and breathe life into me
I'm alone here trapped in a memory
only your love can set me free


When will my dreams become reality?
I'm still here waiting...
Every day feels like a year
I need you now, I need you here
won't you come rescue me?

Chorus
Waiting, waiting for you
to come home and breathe life into me
I'm alone here trapped in a memory
only your love can set me free

The wait seems like an eternity
at least it does to me
but in the cold dark night 
I can dream of you
it's like you're here with me

Bridge
Oh the nights can be so lonely
a painful misery
won't you come back to me?

Chorus
Waiting, waiting for you
to come home and breathe life into me
I'm alone here trapped in a memory
only your love can set me free

My friend, I have come here three different times to comment on these cool and relatable song lyrics. Each time interrupted...fourth time is the charm. This one sings itself John. Really nicely composed.

Thanks Chris, this one felt good as it flowed you know what I mean right, sometimes you just know it feels good, and others reaffirm it, so thanks for that!

The waiting can be excruciating and a seemingly endless void and your words convey the emotions beautifully John:) I imagine this to be a ballad the music, quite somber to match the mood. We all need a good cry once in a while to release the sorrow. I believe this is just the song:-) blessings xxx

Wow thanks so much Lynn, I enjoy your enthusiasm, I usually can sense if something is good or not, but when I see comments that this is confirms that I did something right, that touches the emotions, and that is yhe whole point isn't it?
