[Chorus 1]
I have waited oh so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
Holding back until the time was right
[Chorus 2]
I've counted the days
(Day after day)
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way
(I've found my way)
Right back to your heart
[Verse 1]
I've been searching for you everywhere
Calling you, but you were never there
Seeking in the dark of night
Hoping one day you would shine a light
[Chorus 2]
I've counted each day
(Day after day)
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way
(I've found my way)
Right back to your heart
[Chorus 1]
I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby, I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
(Every night, every night)
Holding back 'til the time was right
Oh, I have waited so long
Ah, don't tell me I was wrong
[Outro]
(I dream of you)
I'm dreaming of you baby
Don't go away
I have waited oh so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
Holding back until the time was right
[Chorus 2]
I've counted the days
(Day after day)
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way
(I've found my way)
Right back to your heart
[Verse 1]
I've been searching for you everywhere
Calling you, but you were never there
Seeking in the dark of night
Hoping one day you would shine a light
[Chorus 2]
I've counted each day
(Day after day)
Since we've been apart
Now I've found my way
(I've found my way)
Right back to your heart
[Chorus 1]
I have waited oh, so long
Please don't tell me baby, I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night
(Every night, every night)
Holding back 'til the time was right
Oh, I have waited so long
Ah, don't tell me I was wrong
[Outro]
(I dream of you)
I'm dreaming of you baby
Don't go away
