I’ll be Standing Here (‘Till You Come Home)

I never knew the nights could be so long
I never knew alone could be so wrong
But I never knew that love could be this strong
I’ll be standing here ‘till you come home.

Just knowing that you’re there
Is like cool water on these sun parched lips
Like a roaring river at my fingertips
Like free-falling to the arms of the one who cares
Just knowing that you’re there

I never knew the nights could be so long
I never knew alone could be so wrong
But I never knew that love could be this strong
I’ll be standing here ‘till you come home.

Just knowing that you’re there
Is like a bridge we built that’ll never burn
Like a promise that our souls confirm
Like the solace of a starry night we shared
Just knowing that you’re there

I never knew the nights could be so long
I never knew alone could be so wrong
But I never knew that love could be this strong
I’ll be standing here ‘till you come home.

Just knowing that you’re there
Is like the sun chasing the clouds away
Like a rainbow rules on a stormy day
Like the love we hold intense without despair
Just knowing that you’re there

I never knew the nights could be so long
I never knew alone could be so wrong
But I never knew that love could be this strong
I’ll be standing here ‘till you come home.
I’ll be standing here ‘till you come home.
