Wait for love
Luther Vandross · The Music Of Luther Vandross [2009]
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
