Lyrics

verse 1
I go through my day, with a smile on my face
I still read the paper, I pick up my place
I take a drive in the country, and let the beauty take me in
And though I'm smiling on the outside, I'll be crying in the end

chorus
I'll wait a lifetime, for one dance with you
And I'll take my chances, to hold you the whole night through
It might take forever, but for me that's not that long
'Cause the day that we're together, is the day I start forever
And it's the reason I go on

verse2
She lies beside you, she feels your love
She's the one you gave your heart to, she's the one that you touch

Repeat chorus twice
Repeat last two lines
