It’s so hard just waitin’    But I guess that’s what I have to do    My poor heart keeps on breakin’    With every moment I’m away from you    I know you’re smart takin’   Your time    ‘Cause of what it cost you    Once before    But it’s not then and I love    You a lot    Now and forever          Chorus:    How long do I wait before you make up your mind    How long I wonder    How long before you take away the hardest of times    How long I wonder          It’s unfair when two who care    Have to face such a perilous sea    Despair lingers everywhere    Like a cloud nobody can reach    I understand you’re afraid of it all    Love is one hell of a step    I’ll be there if you panic or fall    No matter what the depth          Repeat Chorus          Solo          All I can say I’ve already said    More than a thousand times    It’s up to you to believe    Every word    Before I lose my mind          Repeat Chorus
