Wait A While
by: Jon LordWait before you go,
So you will know, what I am feeling as you leave
I understand, your need for some time
Some solitude
Wait a while, before you go
You should know by now, my heart belongs to you
I know that you must leave
And I can see, that it's not easy for you, no
Buy I'll be here and know that my soul
Is always near you
Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a
while
Shake the vow and the leaves start falling
Spill the wine and our dreams come tumbling down
All around
The sand of time is slipping through my fingers
You and I, still the memories linger on
And on
Now I know that if I can only let go
And wait a while, you'll be here again with me
The same old friends we've always been
Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a
while
Wait a while
Wait a while
