Waiting for the Night

Waiting for the Night (PDF / MP3)

Waiting for the night . . .

I've just been waiting for those old city lights to shine,

Shine their lonely blue just for me,

And in their light I see . . .

There's a picture that comes so clear

That in the dark I imagine her nearer than she really is.

Oh, I don't know her name, but I'm hoping that some day

She will come my way.

All my life I've heard there is someone for everyone,

But I feel like the exception to the rule.

Every time I think I've found my someone,

Next thing that I know, she's gone,

And I end up the lonely fool . . .

The fool out walking alone at night . . .

Someone is standing beneath the corner light--Is it her?

Oh, I never really see, 'cause she just fades away,

Leaving me to stay here

Waiting for the night when we finally meet

And we fall into each other's heart.

I keep waiting for the lover who will make my life complete--

She's the only missing part.

So I'll keep holding on to that hope . . .

Guess it's enough for now to help me cope with the waiting

And wondering if somewhere someone really might

Be under that light

And waiting for the night. . . .
