While You're Waiting Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Time goes slowly 

Time goes silently 

Drags its feet, no it never flies 

While you're waiting for the love to return to her eyes 

And words they fail you 

Words come awkwardly 

Leave your lips as they turn to sighs 

While you're waiting for the love to return to her eyes 

And what once shines so brightly 

Makes the present seem so pale 

Once held in arms so tightly 

Now you're just a ship without a sail, without a sail 

And thoughts grow stormy 

Thoughts weigh heavily 

Feels as if the sun will never rise 

While you're waiting for the love to return to her eyes
