I’ve been waiting for you
For such a long time
You’re always on my mindAnd I’m lying awake
Most of the night
Waiting to hold you tightNow that I do
And look at you
My heart is breaking
This can’t be trueLost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we’ll meet againClose to my soul
Close to my heart
Right from the startLost in time
Lost in space
Can’t wait to see your faceNow that I do
And look at you
My heart is breaking
I know it’s trueLost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we’ll meet againSometimes I find myself wondering what to do
With this pain that I’m going through
But I know one day, God will take me away
And I’m coming home to youAnd when I do
And look at you
My heart is healing
I know it’s trueLost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we’ll meet again
