Well, I poured my heart into my hands
But emotion took the best of me and walked away
Now I hang my head and start to cry
I wonder why I had to even wake up today
Then I see what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
And think about the times I couldn't stand no more
Then I stop and think of you … again
I took some chances with my life
But they kept me locked and beaten in the cold outside
And I call you on the telephone
All my bills are paid
But there's no dial tone
Then I hear what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
And think about the times I couldn't take no more
Then I hear your voice … again
Then I see what I've waited for
And it makes me smile again
And think about the times I couldn't stand no more
Then I stop and think of you … again
