I Will Be Waiting
Eternal Longing: A Melodic Embrace of Love's Anticipation
Lyrics
I know the way you pull in the drive way
I am familiar with the way you arrive in the driveway.
And I know the sound, yeah the sound that the dog makes
I recognize the sound, specifically the dog's sound.
And your footsteps fall soft on the walk way
Your footsteps make a soft noise on the walkway.
And I will be waiting!
I will be patiently waiting for your return.
You know if it's dark
If it's dark, I'll keep the light on for you.
That I'll leave the light on
The key is under the rock on the front lawn, a known detail between us.
And you know that the key is under the rock on the front lawn
I experience loneliness when you're not around.
And you know how lonely I get when you're gone
Expressing understanding of each other.
You know what I'm saying
A confirmation of shared sentiments.
And I will be waiting
Reiteration of the commitment to wait.
And when you get home I'm gonna lock you in
Upon your return, I intend to keep you close.
I won't let you go, no I won't let you leave again
I won't allow you to leave again; emphasizing commitment.
And I'll bet you know that I will be waiting, for you
A declaration that waiting is a conscious choice made out of love.
I miss the way you fill in the spaces
I miss the way you contribute to our shared moments.
And I miss us in our favorite places
Nostalgia for the special places we shared.
And I miss you, the way we turn the pages
Missing the unique dynamics and experiences shared together.
And I will be waiting
Reiteration of the commitment to wait patiently.
And when you get home I'm gonna lock you in
Expressing the intent to keep the partner close upon return.
I won't let you go, no I won't let you leave again
Emphasizing the determination to prevent separation.
And I'll bet you know that I will be waiting
Affirmation that waiting is an enduring commitment.
I will be waiting for you!
Repeating the commitment to wait, specifying the location.
Right here!
Stating the physical presence while waiting.
I will be waiting for you!
Reiteration of the commitment to wait for the partner.
I will be waiting
A final declaration of the enduring commitment to wait.
