I Still Wait for You


The days go by, the seasons turn, Yet still my heart for you will burn. Though distance keeps us far apart, You live forever in my heart. I walk alone where we once stayed, The memories never seem to fade. Your laughter echoes in the rain, A gentle balm, a tender pain. I still wait for you, my love, Like stars that shine from skies above. Though you may never call my name, My soul is bound, it feels the same. The river flows, the mountains stand, I trace your shadow with my hand. Each dawn I hope, each night I pray, That fate will guide you back someday. I still wait for you, my dear, Through every silence, every tear. Though time may steal the world away, My love for you will always stay. And if the years should pass me by, And if my voice should fade, run dry, Know this one truth, forever true— I lived my life in love with you.
