Lyrics
- There was a time when I thought you were mine
But things have changed somehow
There was a day when you went away
Breaking your every vow, that’s why I’m
Refrain:
Waiting, waiting for a glimpse of you
Waiting, waiting, seems that’s all I do
Your voice I’m longing to hear
Oh, how I wish you were near to cheer me while
Waiting, waiting, is it all in vain?
Hoping, praying for your love again
And when you find that you’re alone
Make up your mind and come back home
I’ll always be waiting for you
- Robin is calling it’s mate to it’s nest
Here while I call to you
Shadows will find them both soon at rest
Under the skies so blue, that’s why I’m
