Lying in my bed alone and whispering your name, Wonder where you are tonight and do you feel the same, letting my thoughts fly to where you might be, Sharing the secret that took you from me.. Heart is beating faster with the memory of your touch Try to ease this loneliness I'm missing you so much I'm with you when sleep comes I find you in dreams But wake to confusion It's not as it seems I´m waiting for you, those words I still hear you say, But it seems like a lifetime since you went away, These chains round my heart and they´ll just won't let me feel, Until you return I will never be free, I hear you call - wait for me. Do you still remember by the ocean, Oh so blue, As I looked into your eyes, you said that you´ll be true, The promises made as we walked on the beach, Like the moon and the stars now so far out of reach. I'm waiting for you those words I still hear you say But it seems like a lifetime since you went away, There's chains round my heart and they just won't let me be Until you return I will never be free I hear you call - Wait for me Lying in my bed alone and whispering your name Wonder where you are tonight and do you feel the same Letting my thoughts fly to where you might be Sharing the secret that took you from me I'm waiting for you Those words I still hear you say but it seems like a lifetime since you went away There's chains round my heart and they just won't let me be Until you return I will never be free I hear you call - Wait for me I'm waiting for you Because it's all I can do But it seems all my life I've been waiting for you This ache in my heart You know it won't let me be Until you return I will never be free Still I can hear - Wait for me I'm waiting for you Those words I still hear you say But it seems like a lifetime Since you went away There's chains round my heart And they just won't let me be Until you return I will never be free I hear you call - Wait for me
