Wait
Brenda and The Beachballs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you'll return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me

Till I'm holding you, till I hear you sigh
Here in my arms

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forever more I'll wait for you

If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me
Till I'm touching you
And forevermore I'll wait for you
I will wait for you

Yes, I will wait for you
I will wait for you
