It's so hard, just waitin'
But I guess that's what I have to do
My poor heart keeps on breakin'
With every moment I'm away from you
I know you're smart takin' 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?
How long, before you take away the hardest of times?
How long, I 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?
How long, before you take away the hardest of times?
How long, I 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?
How long, before you take away the hardest of times?
How long, I wonder?
How long, do I wait before you make up your mind?
How long, I wonder?
How long?
