I'll Always Wait For You
Lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz
Background
       I wrote this song near the end of 1998 when James was toying with my emotions and leading me on. I cared about him very much and because he was one of my closest friends, I refused to believe that he was playing me. Well, he was. But this song was written before I came to that realization. This is also one of the only songs I have that was written without music. I could sing it to you note for note, but could not play along to it for the life of me. Writing the music for this song is on my list of things to do.

Dedication
     Dedicated to James.
Lyrics
Verse 1:  I don’t know how I’m gonna wake up tomorrow.
And I can’t find any logical reason to conceal all my sorrow.
Because I’m always hoping you’ll come back to me,
And that’s one hope that I know you’ll never see.

Chorus: And I can’t live without you even as a friend,
And I can’t find a reason why this love affair should end.
If you need to make a choice and you don’t know what to do,
I’ll ask you to remember this : I’ll always wait for you.

Verse 2: You have seen the deepest secrets of my heart and the pain in my eyes.
Still you ignore the fact that every single time I see you with her, I exist in
disguise.
I’m holding on to memories and crying endlessly,
and those are tears I know you’ll never see.
     
Chorus 2: And I can’t live without you even as a friend.
And I can’t find a reason why this love affair should end.
If you should leave me standing here feeling like a fool,
I’ll ask you to remember this: I’ll always wait for you.

Alternate verse: People always laugh at me and say it’s just a dream.
  I reassure them saying that I’m closer than it seems.
  People always tell me that I should let you go.
  I reassure them saying that “Hey you never know!”

Verse 3: We have shared more intimate things than one could ever believe.
Still we pretend that nothing has ever happened, but then everyone leaves.
You hold me in your arms then, I sigh happily, and that is when the two of us can be… free.
       
Chorus 3: And I can’t live without you even as a friend.
And I can’t find a reason why this love affair should end.
If you wanted to leave me just to be with someone new,
I’ll ask you to remember that I’ll always wait for you.
Oh I can’t live without you… even as a friend
Don’t know a reason this should end.
I’d climb the mountains and swim the sea do anything that you want me to,
But you, you just remember this: I’ll always wait for you. Oh oh.
I’ll always wait for you, hey.
Yes I will always wait only for you baby.
I’ll always wait for you.
