You are not alone tonight   Imagine me there by your side   It's so hard to be here so far away from you   I'm counting the days till   I'm finally done   I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one   It feels like forever till I return to you   But it helps me on those lonely nights   It's that one thing that keeps me alive      Knowing that you wait for me   Ever so patiently      No one else knows the feeling inside   We hang up the phone without saying goodnight   Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home   It's never been easy to say   But it's easier when I've gone away      Knowing that you wait for me   Ever so patiently   Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and   It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me      What I'd give   What I'd do   Knowing I'm not there for you   Makes it so hard to leave   What I'd give   What I'd do   Anything to get me home to you   And this time I'll stay      And you wait for me   Ever so patiently   Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and   It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me
