sometimes I manage
to steal a bit of your time
other times your job is your # 1

alone again I sit for awhile
until our special friend
rescues me
and carries me away
to hear all my worries
and catch all my tears


still not the same
as I wish i could spend it with you
but I am so greatful
for our special friend
whom is always there for me
because he renews my strength
and fullfils me every need

if it wasn't for him
alone again I would continue to be
and waste another year
of waiting and being on my own..
our friend that safely takes me away

you made a promise
that you would be home soon
and together we will be
just you and me
you made that promise
how many times??

another month goes by
and your still away
another hour goes by
and the phone doesn't ring
it's been a week

there is a knock at the door
again our friend rescues me

he made a sacrafice for me
again today

he took the time to hear what my heart had to say..
and his job is very important too

he came to remind me to be patient and wait..
for you
