Ik Wacht Op Jou
Will Tura Lyrics

Ik wacht op jou
Ik wacht op jou

Wij namen afscheid die dag
Jij zij 'adieu' met een lach
Maar in je blik welde een traan
Die in een snik wou overgaan
Ik deed alsof ik 't niet zag
Wij zwoeren eden van trouw
Jij zei nog 'ik wacht op jou'

En in de nacht in 't vreemde oord
Eenzaam op wacht klinkt ieder woord
Ik wacht voor altijd op jou

Ik wacht op jou
Ik wacht op jou

Wij denken veel aan elkaar
Jij telt de dagen van 't jaar
Liefste hoort 't gaat voorbij
'T wordt weer goed voor jou en mij
Ik wacht voor altijd op jou
Ik wacht voor altijd op jou
Ik wacht voor altijd op jou
