So tired of waiting for you
So tired of longing for you
Tired of waiting
Saving my love for you

So tired of dreaming daydreams
So tired of only play schemes
Why don't you call me

Tell me that your thoughts are all of me sweetheart
All day long I wonder why we're far apart

So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I'm tired

(Orchestral Interlude)

So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I'm tired
I'll wait forever dear.
