When I was a child
I'd imagine you'd arrive
And change my life
I could see your smile
And all the world's beauty
Through your eyes
So I held on
For that day to come
When I would know
How it feels to come home
So I'll stay awake
I'll wait
To see you then
And where you go
I will follow
All these days went by
Knowing you'd be by my side When the time is right
Though I realized
The love on my mind
Is rare to find
Still I held on
For that day to come
When we would know
How it feels to come home
So I'll stay awake
I will wait
To see you then
And where I go
You will follow
Maybe I am needy
Maybe I'm naive
But I'm not one who leaves
When there are promises to keep
I might seem delusional
But that image of me
Is brought on by someone
Who's never known
How true love feels
And here you are with me
Here you are with me
I'm still awake
We were worth the wait
Here you are with me
And suddenly
The dream is replaced by eternity
