I'll Wait For You
Lisa Scott-Lee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found you, and I lost you
I was falling in love with you
Can you tell me, why you left me
I wanna know
I'm turning back time (I'm turning back time)
Lying here I wonder why
Drawing circles in my mind
And tears that won't dry, fall from the sky

Walking high over clouds going by
Silver lining caught in my eye
A picture of yesterday seems so far away
All I want is to hold you near,
Tell you things that you wanna hear
I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you)
I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you)

I still need you (need you)
Wanna please you (please you)
I'm helpless without you
Are you out there, do you hear me?
I have to know
I'm scared that I'll find (I'm scared that I'll find)
In my dreams you hold me tight,
And when I wake you're out of sight
I gave you my heart
But will yours be mine?

Walking high over clouds going by (walking high)
Silver lining caught in my eye (in my eye)
A picture of yesterday seems so far away
All I want is to hold you near, (oooh)
Tell you things that you wanna hear
I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you)

I'm waiting for you (I'm waiting for you)
I'm waiting for you (I'm waiting for you)
I'm waiting for you (I'm waiting for you)
I'm waiting for you (oooh ooo)

Walking high over clouds going by (walking high)
Silver lining caught in my eye (in my eye)
A picture of yesterday, seems so far away
All I want is to hold you near, (oooh)
Tell you things that you wanna hear
I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you)

Walking high over clouds going by
Silver lining caught in my eye
A picture of yesterday
Seems so far away
All I want is to hold you near
Tell you things that you wanna hear
I'll wait for you

I'll wait for you

I am lying here and wondering why

Drawing circles in my mind
I am pondering and imagining various scenarios

And tears that won't dry, fall from the sky
I am crying and the tears seem endless

I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and affection

But will yours be mine?
Are you willing to reciprocate my feelings?

I am patiently waiting for you
