Well, I poured my heart into my hands But emotion took the best of me and walked away Now I hang my head and start to cry I wonder why I had to even wake up today Then I see what I've waited for And it makes me smile again And think about the times I couldn't stand no more Then I stop to think of you again I took some chances with my life But they kept me locked and beaten in the cold outside And I call you on the telephone All my bills are paid but there's no dial tone Then I hear what I've waited for And it makes me smile again And think about the times I couldn't take no more But then I hear your voice again Then I see what I've waited for And it makes me smile again And think about the times I couldn't stand no more Then I stop to think of you again
