We sit and we wait
For what we know not
It has no name or form
But each of us waits
We're sure it's what we want
But is it really?
It comes for a few
And they are overjoyed
We watch them leave, and we wonder
Have they found happiness?
Was it worth the wait?
Will it come for us?
And still we wait
Believing it will come for us
And we will dance with it always
Love
Is what we wait for
And it tantalizes us with its nearness
Laughing and dancing just out of reach
Our fingers slip and our grasp is not firm
And it scampers away again
Only to tiptoe near as we're about to give up
Leaning down to whisper in our ear
"Don't give up.
I'll come for you.
You just have to wait."
But love is a tricky being
It conceals and decieves
And waits for us to believe
Waits for us to fall head over heels
For us to smile and laugh
And for us to give our hearts
And when we do
Love steals our hearts and keeps them for its own
And so we sit and we wait
For what we now know
Its name is Love and its form is stolen hearts
