Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My love, been such a long, long time
One day I always knew I'd hear from you again
But I'm sorry to find you're havin' such hard times
But you thought of me in your time of need, so I say
[Verse 2]
Build me a road, dear, and I will come runnin'
No matter how long or how hard it may be (Wherever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need
[Verse 3]
Who thought it would ever come to this
One last letter with no one last kiss
As the seasons go by, every day you're on my mind, baby
I long one day to be with you, say I say
[Verse 4]
Build me a road, dear, and I will come runnin' (I'll come runnin')
No matter how long or how hard it may be (Wherever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need (I promise I'll be there)
[Verse 5]
You promised me, I promised you
The love for one another was true
But somewhere in time we went on with our lives
Now we're oh, so far apart, too far to make a start
Too long to make it end, I must see you again
[Verse 6]
Build me a road, dear, and I will come runnin'
No matter how long or how hard it may be
(No matter, wherever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
I promise I'll be there whenever you need (Wherever you are)
[Verse 7]
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
