til i return to you

if i could journey back in time
and change one hasty act of mine

I'd wait til you returned

if i could spin the meter 'round
and this time firmly stand my ground

I'd wait til you returned

though i was young others knew
that if i chose to wait for you

their time would surely cease

Confused, alone my heart was torn
though days were few I left 'fore your return

Yet, through the years I've seen your face
heard your laugh and sought the place

where first we fell in love

I've kept my promise to stand by
the one who kept me from your side

long after your return

And now the debt long since paid
I'm loosed from poor decisions made

and seek for patience in your eyes

til I return to you
