I wait for you
I wait for you I,
I known you all my life
I met you back when we were kids before the second grade
And I,
I waited a long time to tell you how
you bring the light into my everyday
And you,
you're going your own way You're off
to college now and you'll be gone
here any day And you got tears up in your eyes
You're staring at me telling me that I had better wait
And even though you got to go away Even if it's New York or LA
Even though we know I got to stay I wait for you
I wait for you I wait for you
I wait for you I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
You better stay,
my papa he ain't been so good since mama passed away
And we, we gonna be alright
I'll see you when you come back home in the summertime
And you,
you're going your own way
You're off to college now and you'll be gone
Even though we know I got to stay I wait for you
I wait for you I wait for you
I wait for you I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
