[Verse 1]
There may be roads you have to travel
That I cannot walk beside,
Days when all the answers vanish
And you have to trust the tide.
But wherever life may take you,
Whatever you go through,
There will always be one place
That still belongs to you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening finds me listening
For footsteps that I almost hear.
Love has never left between us—
It only waits right here.
[Chorus]
I’ll be waiting here for you
When the road has worn you down,
When you’ve chased a thousand tomorrows
And you need familiar ground.
You don’t have to make a promise,
You don’t have to tell me when—
If your heart should turn toward home someday,
I’ll be waiting here till then.
[Verse 2]
I will live the days I'm given,
I will laugh and I will grow,
There'll be days I won't remember,
There'll be nights that pass too slow.
But beneath the life I'm living
There'll be one thing time can't move—
A place my heart will keep forever,
Still untouched, still meant for you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Wherever your tomorrow leads,
There’s one thing you can trust—
Somewhere beyond the changing years,
My heart will still be us.
[Chorus]
I’ll be waiting here for you
When the road has worn you down,
When you’ve chased a thousand tomorrows
And you need familiar ground.
You don’t have to make a promise,
You don’t have to tell me when—
If your heart should turn toward home someday,
I’ll be waiting here till then.
[Bridge]
If the years should turn like pages,
If the road grows hard to see,
Love will leave a trail of light
Leading you back home to me.
No hand can break what hope has written,
No night can hide what still is true...
If you ever lose your way, love,
I’ll leave a trail of light for you.
[Final Chorus]
I’ll be waiting here for you
Through whatever comes and goes.
I won’t ask where you have wandered,
I won’t need to know the roads.
Just follow what your heart remembers
When you’re searching for what’s true—
However far tomorrow takes you,
I’ll be waiting here for you.
[Outro]
If you ever lose your way...
I’ll leave a trail of light.
And when that light leads you home,
I’ll be waiting here for you.
