Waiting for Love

Love is strong， love is true.

I'm waiting for it， longing¹ for you.

The moon smiles， I see your name in the stars

But， I can't read it， it's still too far.

Destiny holds me in the palm of her hand，

I need relief from this hot burning sand.

I want to hold you， feel your touch，

I've waited so long， this is all too much.

Sweetness abides² in the clouds up above，

Carry me there on the wings of your love.

The warmth that comes from the one you love so，

In the dead of winter can make flowers grow.

I have a treacherous³ road to travel，

Before the mysteries of life I unravel⁴.

But， you'll be with me forever， your love in my heart，

Til the day we meet and from there never part.
