While I Waited

Life went about it's shopping list errands While I waited To love you Seasons changed And years, to the abacus, We're added While I waited To love you Fashions took turns in trending Music developed a beat all it's own Traffic grew heavier While I waited To love you. I knew you were there Out there, just beyond the corner Next to the bakery, By the cozy Italin restaurant Down the block from the fountain in the park Near the bench, beneath the tree I knew you were there Waiting for me to find you All those dreams of one day Coming across your face In the crowd Seeing it was you, just you All along that long journey I waited To love you
