Waiting at the Gates of Love

[Intro]
Soft whispers in the air, a gentle gate to grace
Years of love, unspoken prayers, shining on his face

[Verse 1]
An elder man with stories deep, eyes that hold the skies
Reaching for a heaven, tears almost in his eyes
"Sir, you’ve lived a life so grand, a beacon through the years
But one last thing, I hope you understand, I need my dear
"

[Pre-Chorus]
Angel at the door, with a kindly, knowing smile
"Come on in," he gently says, "just stay a while"

[Chorus]
Waiting at the gates of love, where angels softly wait
For those who’ve loved and lost before, beyond the golden gate
Eternal love can wait, a bench to sit and dream
Hold on tight, it’s not too late, love is more than it seems

[Verse 2]
His heart is longing, not for heaven’s glow, but for her hand
A lifetime of memories, he dreams they’ll soon command
In a nursing home so near, her face in peaceful sleep
He wishes for the moment when their hearts can finally meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Angel’s promise softly whispers, "Love is never gone"
"When the time is right," he says, "we’ll carry on"

[Chorus]
Waiting at the gates of love, where angels softly wait
For those who’ve loved and lost before, beyond the golden gate
Eternal love can wait, a bench to sit and dream
Hold on tight, it’s not too late, love is more than it seems

[Bridge]
A golden bench with wings and hope, a symbol of their bond
A promise that their hearts will find each other beyond
The limits of this earthly life, in heavenly divine
Together in eternal love, their spirits intertwine

[Outro]
So he waits with patience, heart aglow, a whisper in the breeze
Knowing love’s eternal glow will bring her to his knees
Stand beside the gate, my love, the angel softly calls
In love’s eternal waiting, love conquers all
