Wait Forever

I would wait forever if you asked me But you shouldn't ask Oh don't you dare I would wait forever if you asked me But you might not be there I would sit upon the beach And I'd stare up to the stars I'd wait there so silently Waiting for the promised time that's ours. I would fly across the ocean Give it all up and go blind Walk upon soil that is foreign to my foot Just for the happiness with you I hope to find I would wait sat next to the phone Straining my ears to hear it ring I would sit praying for you to come home And as for my life, I would miss everything I would miss holding the hand of my other I wouldnt have someone to sleep next to at night I would cry on my own, and laugh with no other Whilst I waited for you to appear in my sight Oh love, I would wait forever if you asked me But to ask me is unfair I cannot live on hopeful dreams On a promise that one day you might be there You can try as hard as you need to I beg you keep trying to find your way here But do not expect me to be sat alone waiting Until the day comes when you will be near For I cannot wait patiently I cannot silence my own tongue I cannot watch the years slip away Whilst I wait for my only one. So love, yes to answer your question of course I would wait For I love you, pure and true. But you shouldnt ask me to wait silently alone on dreams For I would never ask that of you.
