It's a Long Time to Wait

From years past long ago;
I think of those I used to know
People I've lost touch, left me behind.
I wonder how they've been,
I'm sure I'll see them again,
It's just going to be a long long time.

It's a long time to wait...
but I know someday I'll see you again.
How much have you changed?
Experience and time may have caused you to grow,
But you'll still be the same...
person that I've always known.
Even though you've gone so far-
you're still the same person you are-
I wonder what's going on with you-
but I'll have to wait till I catch up to you-

It's a long time to wait...
but it's too soon for me to enter that gate.
I still have some living to do-
but it's not my choice when I'll next see you-
Only God knows when and where-
I'll leave this life to join yours up there-
But it's a long time to wait.

People only see,
the people right in front of me,
They think that there aren't any other kind,
But when the people go,
they take their mind with them you know,
They didn't leave all they're behind.

It's a long time to wait...
but I know someday I'll see you again.
How much have you changed?
Experience and time may have caused you to grow,
But you'll still be the same...
person that I've always known.
Even though you've gone so far-
you're still the same person you are-
I wonder what's going on with you-
but I'll have to wait till I catch up to you-

It's a long time to wait...

Only God knows when and where-
I'll leave this life to join yours up there-
But it's a long time to wait.

Lost chances never known.
How they must've grown,
from events we can't imagine from afar.
I don't see it as too late,
‘cause they'll be just as great,
even better when I get to where they are.

It's a long time to wait...
but I know someday I'll see you again.
How much have you changed?
Experience and time may have caused you to grow,
But you'll still be the same...

But it's a long time to wait.

The ones that I've loved,
it gets harder to recall,
details, their face, their voice,
how long it's been.
What I remember most,
are the feelings that we shared,
and that's the part I know I'll see again.

It's a long time to wait...
but I know someday I'll see you again.
How much have you changed?
