Waiting for You
I thought I saw you at the bus stop
It was my very first day of school
She ended up simply being the first person
I had met that reminded me of you
She kissed me in the backseat
As she whispered close your eyes
And I realized that they weren't your lips
It wasn't you in this little girls disguise
As the years passed I caught
what I thought
Were glimpses of you
around almost every corner
The girl who passed me my first love note
Sweet questions check yes or no
The angel singing on the choir stage
I thought I saw you in her glow
The first girl to see me cry
When she said she wasn't you
And I prayed it was a lie
Staring out at the starlight reflecting on the ocean
As she danced with another man
I realized it wasn't you
whom I had given my devotion
She was as close to you
as I was yet to find
But illusions will easily fool you
When you decide willingly to be blind
I know your out there somewhere, how much longer must I wait
How much longer till the loneliness can forever more abate
I grow weary of this journey without you by my side
How much longer till I see your smile
How much longer will you hide
How I long to see my soul reflected in your eyes
How many more heartaches
Will I have to suffer wrapped in your disguise
For now I'll continue searching and I'll harbor no regrets
I'll be here waiting for you
Where wishes made on falling stars
Are waiting to come true
