She Waits
Eternal Waiting: Embracing Love's Promise in Kenny Rogers' 'She Waits'
Lyrics
She looks at a picture of
Reflecting on a picture
A girl dressed in lace
Depicting a girl in lace
A boy by her side with a smile on his face
Girl with a happy boy by her side
And she still remembers the
Recalling vows she made
Vows that she gave
Commitment to a lifetime
A lifetime forever the promise was made
Promised forever
Then she turns down the light
Turning down the light
And lights up a candle sit's in the window
Lighting a candle, waiting by the window
And stares out in the night
Gazing into the night
'Till the flame flickers out
Watching the flame flicker out
And the hour grows late
As the hour gets late
Another night passes, she wait's
Waiting through the night
She picks up his letter and
Reading his letter
Stares at thе line
Focusing on the line
That says "I still love you
Declaration of love
I just need some timе"
Need for time
And some nights bring questions
Nights filled with questions
But still she believes
Still holding onto belief
'Cause he was her first love
First love remains
And he'll always be
He will always be her first love
Then she turns down the light
Repeating the ritual
And lights up a candle sit's in the window
Lighting a candle, waiting again
And stares out in the night
Gazing into the night once more
'Till the flame flickers out
Witnessing the fading flame
And the hour grows late
As the night progresses
Another night passes, she wait's
Another night of waiting
Then there's a ring in the night
Ring interrupts the night
A voice on the phone "Would it be alright?"
Voice on the phone seeks permission
"You don't have to ask, just come home"
Welcoming without the need for permission
Now the candle burns bright
Candle burning bright for a new day
For the new day ahead
Anticipation of the day ahead
And with a smile on her face, she wait's
Smiling, still waiting with hope
