Slipping away 'til it's dim in the dark
   The flame that was strong has become just a spark
   But I'll wait for you
   Now when we talk your eyes look away
   The thing that we had has wandered astray
   I'll wait for you
  
   Further and further we're drifting apart
   We knew this would happen right from the start
   But I'll wait for you
   Caught up in troubles that don't mean a thing
   You're ready to fly for a prayer on a wing
   But I'll wait for you
  
   Say you were never in love with me
   But I'll still wait for you
  
   Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
   You tell me no but it won't be long before you see
   You're walking back to me
  
   The road you are following it's a dead end
   And who will be there when you need a real friend
   I will wait
   How are we gonna get back to the start
   They're too close to home these matters of heart
  
   Say you were never in love with me
   But I'll still wait for you
  
   Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
   And you tell me no but it won't be long before you see
   You're walking back to me
   You're walking back to me
  
   Ducking and diving
   Sneaking and hiding
   These woories And these troubles
   Don't you know
   They'll catch up with you
   You're walking back
   You're walking back to me
  
   Oh it's just the way it's meant to be
   And you tell me no but it won't be long before you see
   You're walking back to me
