Before it's too late

I waited for you
Until the sun would shine
Not that I could sleep at all
Once you crossed that line

I waited for you
The passing of each day
Looking far down my road
For you to walk my way

I waited for you
When it turned one week
But knowing your safe return
Long ago would peek

I waited for you
As a month would pass
Once you were so determined
And never would come last

I waited for you
After a whole year
And every time I thought of you
I'd still shed a tear

I waited for you
But time's no guarantee
Nothing now will bring you back
Wherever you might be

It's too late to say goodbye
I know this much is true
And this is why I can't give up
To always wait for you
