Waiting

I've waited and waited so patiently hopefully
Longed for that closed door to open again
If this wound could be cured by a love that is pure
That is steadfast and true then no other will do

So if sometimes my heart aches I won't let my heart break
I won't measure time on a calendar line
For as long as it takes that's how long I will wait
And no matter the end I will never regret
That I waited

Some people tell me I should get on with my life
No use waiting anymore
But I must follow this conviction inside
Which keeps love alive
Through all the aching
That you're worth waiting for

And so I'll go on
Waiting and waiting still hoping and praying
I'll look for that closed door to open again
And when someday we find what was there all the time
I'll look back and remember that I never surrendered
That it was worth every day that I waited
