Wait for love

Luther Vandross · The Music Of Luther Vandross [2009]

Knowing Love the way that I do

I can say for certain that it's true

there's a chance for me and you

I surely feel that the time is near

the picture in my mind is very clear

I think love has brought us here



I remember not so long ago

I was just a lonely person

with a lonely heart

and I was hoping there could one day be

be a chance

for me to get the love

that I'd been missing

sometimes love

takes a long time

but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love

wait for love

wait for love oh my



When you take the chance on love

you'll feel it's not a waste of time

if you truly believe

the impossible can be

so hold on tight if you think your right

nothing hurts as bad as when you see

you gave up too easily

now I remember spending all my time

that a dream that kept me wishing

that you could be mine

and I was hoping there

could one day be

be a chance

for me to get the love

that I've been wishing

sometimes love

takes a long time

but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love

wait for love

wait for love oh my



I never stop believing there could one day be a chance

for me to get the love

that I'd been missing

sometimes love

takes a long time

but wait for love and your gonna get the chance to love

wait for love

wait for love oh my



repeat 4x and fades
