Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name,
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same,
letting my thoughts fly to where
you might be,
Sharing the secret that took you from me..
Heart is beating faster with
the memory of your touch
Try to ease this loneliness
I'm missing you so much
I'm with you when sleep comes
I find you in dreams
But wake to confusion
It's not as it seems
I´m waiting for you,
those words I still hear you say,
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
These chains round my heart
and they´ll just won't let me feel,
Until you return I will never be free,
I hear you call - wait for me.
Do you still remember by the ocean,
Oh so blue,
As I looked into your eyes,
you said that you´ll be true,
The promises made
as we walked on the beach,
Like the moon and the stars
now so far out of reach.
I'm waiting for you
those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
 Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same
Letting my thoughts fly
to where you might be
Sharing the secret
that took you from me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
but it seems like a lifetime
since you went away
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Because it's all I can do
But it seems all my life
I've been waiting for you
This ache in my heart
You know it won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
Still I can hear - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
Since you went away
There's chains round my heart
And they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
