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 Chorus: 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 Repeat Chorus Solo 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 Repeat Chorus
