I'll Be Cryin' for You

Lyrics
But I'll save my dreams till I get old
Expressing a decision to preserve dreams until old age.
I might need them some day

And I stay awake till the morning comes

I won't be waiting for them today, no
Not waiting for dreams today, indicating a sense of urgency or impatience.
I'll be cryin' for you
