How Long

Verse 1: By the roadside I stand, waiting in vain, Three long years, my heart's in uncertain pain. The one I dream of, like a star in the sky, Never notices me, as I faithfully stand by. Verse 2: Calendars turn, seasons come and go, But one thing remains, my love that's only for you. Here I stand, through rain and the sun's glare, Waiting for a word, that perhaps you'll never share. Chorus: Oh, why do you stay silent, not giving any certainty? Here I am waiting, in silence and solitude. Speak to me, even if just a whisper, So I'm not forever drifting, in an endless dream. Verse 3: I see you laugh, I see you cry, From afar I watch, every step you pass by. Yet you never see, never realize, Someone's always there, for you every day and night. Bridge: Perhaps I'm just a shadow, that you never see, Or a voice in the wind, that you never hear. But my love remains eternal, like waves in the sea, Never ceasing to reach, the shores of your lonely heart. Chorus: Oh, why do you stay silent, not giving any certainty? Here I am waiting, in silence and solitude. Speak to me, even if just a whisper, So I'm not forever drifting, in an endless dream. Outro: And if tomorrow never brings your answer, I'll still be here, waiting until time decides. Three years is not the end, of this wait of mine, For true love knows no bounds of time or story's end.
