Soaring

We were standing right here
On the front steps of your house before you’d walk away
You held me in your arms
And told you’d be back real quick
I knew you had no choice
You had to leave me behind
So I looked at you and said my parting words
“Don’t forget to call me
Don’t forget to tell me you love me
I won’t forget that you were always in my heart
So don’t forget this
No matter how long or far this journey takes you
No matter how tired you may be
No matter if the world is holding you back and you can’t decide
You know I’ll be standing right here
Waiting for you”
As the years went by
Life moved on
You never wrote back
To the countless letters I sent you
Everyday
I live in fear
Of what
Might become of you
So right before I sleep
I pray that you will hear my plead
“Don’t forget to call me
Don’t forget to tell me you love me
I won’t forget that you were always in my heart
So don’t forget this
No matter how long or far this journey takes you
No matter how tired you may be
No matter if the world is holding you back and you can’t decide
You know I’ll be standing right here
Waiting for you”
I’m tired
The days go by
You’re not here
I’m scared to walk away
The faces they show me worry but
I’ll still be writing
I’ll still be pleading
I’ll go on telling you
“I’m still waitin’
Have you forgotten how much I loved you
Have you forgotten that you’re always in my heart
Don’t you forget that
No matter how long you take
No matter how long or far this journey takes you
No matter how tired you may be [tired you may be]
No matter if the world is holding you back and you can’t hold on no more
You know I’ll be standing right here [I’m standing right here]
Don’t forget I love you
Don’t forget I’ll always be there for you
No matter how long it takes
I’ll still be waiting for you”

And you told me
You won’t forget
I’m still waiting…
