Lyrics
My love, wherever you are
Whatever you are
Don't lose faith
I know it's gonna happen someday to you
Please wait, please wait
Wait...don't lose faith
You say that the day just never arrives
And it's never seemed so far away
Still, I know it's gonna happen someday to you
Please wait, don't lose faith
