" Waiting for the Day "

“Waiting for the Day”

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

I’ll be here when the nights grow long

And the crickets sing their tune

You’ll be out beneath the stars

I’ll be waiting under the moon

I’ll keep this old porch light burning

Through every summer night

Hoping one day you’ll come home

And sit down by my side

( Chorus )

I don’t mind the quiet, I don’t mind the rain

I’ve weathered all these seasons, of joy and of pain

I’ll be home tending the dogs, keeping my loneliness at bay

And waiting for the day… oh waiting for the day

( Verse 2 )

I remember when we were younger

We chased dreams, just you and me

Now you chase the fire in the woods

While I chase our memories

I never cared for camping

But I’ve always cared for you

So I’ll stay right here, holding on

To the love I know is true

( Chorus )

I don’t mind the quiet, I don’t mind the rain

I’ve weathered all these seasons, of joy and of pain

I’ll be home tending the dogs, keeping my loneliness at bay

And waiting for the day… oh waiting for the day

( Bridge 1 )

Maybe one summer morning

You’ll wake and see it clear

The only tent you’ll ever need

Is the shelter we’ve built here

( Bridge 2 )

Lord, give her eyes to see me

Like she did when our love was new

Till then I’ll keep on waiting

With a heart that still stays true

( Chorus )

I don’t mind the quiet, I don’t mind the rain

I’ll keep on believing that our love will remain

I’ll be home tending the dogs, keeping my loneliness at bay

And waiting for the day… oh waiting for the day

( Outro )

Yes, I’ll be home tending the dogs

And waiting for the day.

That you realize I stayed here waiting for this day.
