lyrics

I have waited for you
through the days and down through the nights,
dreaming of the day the rain is cleared away.
When you're far away I still hold you tight.

I have waited for you
in the sweetest little moments of this life.
Even in the farthest reaches of my youth,
I begin to believe that you were on my mind.

Love has turned our water to wine,
filled our weary hearts with life,
set a vision in our eyes
I can see
You are mine.

I have tried to live
with an innocence beyond my bumbling grasp,
but a longing and a sorrow found my heart
and I cried out for a better life at last.

I have waited for you
in the dreariest of moments in this life,
but I felt a welling hope that you would come,
not a hope for being loved but for to love.

Love has turned our water to wine,
filled our weary hearts with life,
set a vision in our eyes
I can see
You are mine.

I have waited for you
while you fought and scratched and held your heart away,
while you set up little walls and broke them down,
knowing I would find what dwells inside one day

I have waited for you
since I first beheld the beauty of your heart.
You were sweeter than the best in life to me.
You were beautiful and you will always be.

Love has turned our water to wine,
filled our weary hearts with life,
set a vision in our eyes
I can see
You are mine.
