Waiting For You
Ian Van Dahl · Other Songs - Ian Van Dahl
Someone will give love in return
But all I can see, this picture of you
I pick up the phone but youÂ’re not home
I cannot believe IÂ’m all alone
IÂ’m here calling you name
Chorus
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’m lost without you
People say itÂ’s time to move on
All those things, IÂ’ve heard them before
They will never know my feelings for you
Good things come to those who wait
Still itÂ’s so hard to keep my faith
IÂ’m here calling your name
Chorus
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
IÂ’m lost without you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’ll be waiting, waiting for you
DonÂ’t leave me standing, IÂ’m lost without you
IÂ’m lost without you
