Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never chose to love so sweet a rose
I suppose I was just made that way
Loneliness and the gloom fills my lonely little room
Perhaps soon you'll chase my emptiness away
[Verse 2]
Till then I'll wait
Till you've reached my gate
[Verse 3]
Everyday I wake it's getting harder just to take
I try to fake a smile but nothing hides my sadness
Pretending that I'm fine, I'm only lying all the time
I've crossed the line from melancholy into madness
[Verse 4]
Till then I'll wait
Till you've reached my gate
Crying every night
Till you've blessed my sight
[Verse 5]
I never knew what just one dance could do
Now I'm through with all my searching, love, I've found you
Darling, don't you fret, I swear this love you won't regret
I will protect and put my loving arms around you
[Verse 6]
Till then I'll wait
Till you've reached my gate
Crying every night
Till you've blessed my sight
