I remember the first time I met you
we talked like we were best friends
nothing we knew would come out of it
just two people who are looking out a skinny lens
seeing nothing but the moment
seeking nothing more
not caring about what is behind the doors
Each time I left from talking to you
walking away and turning the corner
backing myself up against the wall to keep my breathing steady
turning around to see your smile fading
As you promised me you would be there tomorrow waiting
As the months went by
you were all I could think about
you were in my books
in my songs
in writings
everywhere I looked
Sitting there in class
anticipating the bell
to know you would be by my next class
I was so in love
could not you tell?
Hugging you tightly
clenching your back
Looking onward
nothing we lacked
walking away and turning the corner
backing myself up against the wall to keep my breathing steady
turning around to see your smile fading
As you promised me you would be there tomorrow waiting
Every time you have to go
I beg you, 5 more minutes please no
But you always walk away
not because you want to
but because you reassure me tomorrow is a new day
and there will be plenty of time to think about me
I promise you I will never let go
a promise I make and you know it is true
and as you walked away and turned the corner
You backed yourself up against the wall to keep your breathing steady
turning around to see my smile fading
And I promised you that Iwould be there tomorrow happily and patiently, and all so faithfully waiting
And if you shall die before I wake
A part of me the lord will take
a simple vow to you and your heart
nothing, not even death could brake us apart
But if you die and both our smiles are fading
promise me at the gates of Heaven
you will be there for me...waiting.
