When I see you again
I long to touch and stroke your hair again
Though my heart goes on beating not knowing when
I, I wait for the time
I feel your hair once more through these hands of mine
My heart will sing, you know I will soar
[chorus]
Until then
All I'll have is just a memory of you
That I could hold on to
Until then
All I'll have is just this space and time
To wait and think of you
Coz you'll be on my mind
Until then (until then)
I, I wait for the time
I feel your hair once more through these hands of mine
I know that someday, you'll come back and stay
We'll be together once more
Just like before
[repeat chorus]

I long for the moment
I long for the time
I'll take all my chances
Until you are mine
All I'll have is just a memory

Until then
All I'll have is just this space and time
To wait and think of you
Coz you'll be on my mind
Until then
