If It Takes Me A Lifetime

It's true that live you, it's true you're not free
I'm trusting in tomorrow that someday you may be
So I'll go on hoping and trusting in fate
If it takes me a lifetime then I'll just wait

I'll cherish the say you and I met
        Sweet memories of you, I'll never forget
        You lifted me up when I was down
        And gave me a smile in place of a frown
        I'll always be waiting, it's never too late
        If it takes me a lifetime then I'll just wait

This waiting is awful, but still you are tied
I'm trying my best my feeling to hide
Though people are talking but still must state
If it takes me a lifetime then I'll just wait

* Refrain
