Lyrics

hello, how long have you been standing there?
did you just walk in the room?
and if you've been watching from from afar
or from behind the stairs
did you see me stumbling 'round
and did you hear the tears fall down?
how long have you been standing there?

hello, how long have you been by my side?
did you just pick up my hand?
and when did you gently draw me close
and whisper in my ear?
everything so soft and clear
all the things i want to hear
how long have you been by my side?

i turned and found you in the dark
in the middle of the night
i knew that i was not alone
when you turned on the light

hello, how long have you been standing there?
i've been wishing all my life
that you would be standing where you are
because i never knew
that you were waiting from the start
patiently inside my heart
now that i have found you
turned my life around
how long have you been standing there?
