I'll Wait a Lifetime Lyrics


The spotlight's shining

The performer takes a bow

It seems the dreams are all fullfilled

Applause is fading

The curtain slips away

The scene is all set to play

The crowd are restless

Tension fills the air

The actors feeling insecure

The lines are read, it's all been said

There's nothing left to do

I'll wait a lifetime for you

Ooh, I'll wait a lifetime for you

I've watched your every movement

I'm caught up on the roundabout

When I look in your eyes, it's no surprise

There's a lot to figure out

I've waited such a long time

To make you see my ways

I only pray that I see the day

We can walk right through the haze

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light on me

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light on me

I'll wait a lifetime, I'll wait a lifetime

I'll wait a lifetime

I've seen you on the sidewalk

I've tried to catch your eye

It seems insane – but who's to blame

You simple pass me by

Seems no use in trying

I guess the game is through

I've made my move – with nothing to prove

I guess I'm hooked on you

I'll wait a lifetime, I'll wait a lifetime

I'll wait a lifetime

I'll wait a lifetime, I'll wait a lifetime

I'll wait a lifetime

The spotlight's faded

It seems the game is through

I guess it all was just a dream
