Lyrics

It's so hard just waiting
But I guess that's what I have to do
My poor heart keeps on breaking
With every moment I'm away from you
I know you're smart, taking your time
'Cause of what it cost you once before
But it's not then, and I love you a lot
Now and forever
How long do I wait before you make up your mind?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
How long before you take away the hardest of times?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, 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
How long do I wait before you make up your mind?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
How long before you take away the hardest of times?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
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
How long do I wait before you make up your mind?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
How long before you take away the hardest of times?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
How long do I wait before you make up your mind?
How long? (I wonder, I wonder, wonder)
How long before you take away the hardest of times?
