Baby I'll Wait
Michael Bublé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear that I would if I could but you know that I can't
'Cause this situation we're facing is out of my hands
I would swim, I would drive
I would run, I would fly
Just to be by your side
But I'm stuck here tonight

So baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
Forever and a day (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
'Cause we're meant to be together
I don't care how long it takes
So baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you

You used to call me and I would be there in a flash
I would be out of the door before you even asked, yeah
Oh, but now, there's a wall in between you and me
It's as high as the sky and as deep as the sea

So baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
Forever and a day (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
'Cause we're meant to together
I don't care how long it takes
So baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you

I've been dreaming 'bout the moment when I get you here alone
I'm getting tired of tryna hold you through the phone

So baby, I'll wait (woo-hoo)
You know that I'll wait for you
Forever and a day (woo-hoo)
You know that I'll wait for you
'Cause we're meant to together
I don't care how long it takes
So baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
Baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you




Baby, I'll wait (I'll wait)
You know that I'll wait for you
