I Will Wait for You
Eternal Promise: A Heart's Patient Vigil

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
The passage of time will be marked by the ticking of the clock, one hour at a time.
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done
Eventually, a moment will arrive when the period of waiting will be over.
The time when you'll return and find me here and run
At that time, the person being addressed will return and discover the speaker waiting, prompting them to run towards the speaker.
Straight to my waiting arms
The person returning will embrace the speaker, seeking comfort in their waiting arms.
If it takes forever, I will wait for you

For a thousand summers, I will wait for you

Till you're back beside me

Till I'm holding you, till I hear you sigh

Here in my arms

Every day remember how I love you so
