Sitting by the window as the daylight fades
Counting all the stars that slowly fill the shades
Whispers of the moonlight tell me tales tonight
But what I long for most is holding you so tight
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
The wind sings a lullaby to ease my weary mind
Tracing constellations, your face is what I find
Memories like lanterns, they glow within the dark
Wishing you were here to calm my aching heart
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
The stars remind me softly that I'm not alone
Their gentle glow becomes a path to guide you home
Birds begin to sing the chorus of the dawn
I hold onto the hope that it won't be too long
The sky ignites with colors, yet still I sit and wait
Believing in the promise that love won't be late
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
Until the day you walk back through that door
I'll keep the candle burning evermore
Sitting by the window as the daylight fades
Counting all the stars that slowly fill the shades
Whispers of the moonlight tell me tales tonight
But what I long for most is holding you so tight
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
The wind sings a lullaby to ease my weary mind
Tracing constellations, your face is what I find
Memories like lanterns, they glow within the dark
Wishing you were here to calm my aching heart
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
The stars remind me softly that I'm not alone
Their gentle glow becomes a path to guide you home
Birds begin to sing the chorus of the dawn
I hold onto the hope that it won't be too long
The sky ignites with colors, yet still I sit and wait
Believing in the promise that love won't be late
Waiting for the footsteps sounding down the hall
Hoping that your silhouette will grace the wall
Every ticking moment feels like endless time
Reaching out beyond to where your heart meets mine
Until the day you walk back through that door
