I'll Stay Awake Lyrics

When I was a child


I'd imagine you'd arrive


And change my life

I could see your smile


And all the world's beauty

Through your eyes

So I held on 


For that day to come 


When I would know


How it feels to come home

So I'll stay awake 


I'll wait 


To see you then 


And where you go 


I will follow

All these days went by


Knowing you'd be by my side
When the time is right

Though I realized


The love on my mind

Is rare to find

Still I held on


For that day to come


When we would know


How it feels to come home

So I'll stay awake


I will wait


To see you then


And where I go


You will follow

Maybe I am needy


Maybe I'm naive


But I'm not one who leaves

When there are promises to keep


I might seem delusional

But that image of me


Is brought on by someone

Who's never known

How true love feels

And here you are with me

Here you are with me

I'm still awake


We were worth the wait


Here you are with me


And suddenly


The dream is replaced by eternity
