Wait for Me

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way you are to me
I must be blind I didn't see
I can't believe that this could happen with you
All my wildest dreams
Had fallen apart at the seams
But at the moment I think this one is true
Right there in the palm of my hand
Tell me how could I have been such a fool

I'm not gonna make no demands of you
'Cause you're some kinda wonderful
I took a double take
And gave myself an even break
You know I've never thought of you in that way
But with a love so strong
I can't see what we do is wrong
I just don't care whatever people might say
Right there in the palm of my hand
Tell me how could I have been such a fool
I'm not gonna make no demands of you
'Cause you're some kinda wonderful
The way I feel about you
I find hard to explain
I hear a voice is it my name you're calling
It couldn't come a minute too soon
'Cause you're some kinda wonderful

I'm up there with the Man in the Moon
'Cause you're some kinda wonderful

The way you are to me
I didn't realize how much you mean to me

I must be blind I didn't see
I overlooked your importance

I can't believe that this could happen with you
I never thought things could progress with us

All my wildest dreams
Everything I ever wanted

Had fallen apart at the seams
Were shattered and ruined

But at the moment I think this one is true
I think we have something real

Right there in the palm of my hand
Within my grasp

Tell me how could I have been such a fool
I can't believe I didn't see it sooner

I'm not gonna make no demands of you
I won't ask for anything unreasonable

'Cause you're some kinda wonderful
Because you are amazing
