When my closest friends
Have run on ahead
I want to know
Will I wait for you
When they go out with
The beautiful girls instead
Tell me now
Will I wait for you
I've never come back to you begging on my hands and knees
You see my tears from far away and come running up to me
Will I wait for you
Will I wait for you
The promise I made to you
Years ago was true
But, will I wait for you
When the standard has been lowered
Down to the ground
Tell me now
Will I wait for you
When the ones I love and admire
Fall without a sound
Who can say
That I'll wait for you
I've had this emptiness beside me all my life
The things that take away my pain take away my life
Will I wait for you
Will I wait for you
The promise I made to you
Years ago was true
But, will I wait for you
When I've been shown my life
Thirty years from now
I want to know
Will I wait for you
When I spend my last day alone
With thoughts of things I wish I had done
Tell me now
Will I wait for you
I've never come back to you begging on my hands and knees
You see my tears from far away and come running up to me
Will I wait for you
Will I wait for you
The promise I made to you
Years ago was true
But, will I wait for you.
