I Will Be Waiting for You
I remember as a boy
Mama's soothing words to me
A time of lullabies and innocent eyes
And fears of the unknown
Turn out the lights
I will be here when you rise
I will be waiting for you
Staring out my window crying
'Cause my daddy's gone
Though I was his own
He felt he had to go away
So far away, all I can say
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
Remembering this promise is true
I will be waiting for you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Now I am a man
I put away my childish things
But still I understand
What it means to be afraid
Those memories whisper to me tenderly
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
Remembering this promise is true
I will be waiting for you
Somewhere in the distance
Even though I can't explain
I can hear my loved ones
Gone to be with Jesus
Calling out my name
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
Remembering this promise is true
I will be waiting for you
Remembering this promise is true
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
