Waiting for Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep your photograph beside the kitchen door The one where you were laughing like you always did before Your coffee cup is waiting though the morning has moved on I speak your name in quiet rooms and carry you along [Pre-Chorus] Some goodbyes don't close a door They leave a light behind And every step I take from here Still finds you on my mind [Chorus] I know heaven called you, Said it was time to go, But my heart still wants you I can never let you go, So until my day, my darling, I’ll love you endlessly— And when Heaven calls me, I know you’ll be waiting for me. [Verse 2] I hear your favorite record turning softly in the hall For one brief moment, I can feel you reaching when I call The garden keeps the roses that you planted in the spring Their petals fall like little notes, reminding me of everything [Pre-Chorus] Some goodbyes don't close a door They leave a light behind And every step I take from here Still finds you on my mind [Chorus] I know heaven called you, Said it was time to go, But my heart still wants you I can never let you go, So until my day, my darling, I’ll love you endlessly— And when Heaven calls me, I know you’ll be waiting for me. [Bridge] If love could build a staircase I would climb it through the blue Bring every unsaid sentence And lay it down with you Until that day arrives I’ll make your kindness known You may be gone from my arms But I will never walk alone [Final Chorus] I know heaven called you, Said it was time to go, But my heart still wants you I can never let you go, So until my day, my darling, I’ll love you endlessly— And when Heaven calls me, I know you’ll be waiting for me. [Outro] Until my day, my darling You’ll be waiting there for me
