I Waited For Years

from Smile by Andrew Newton

/

about

Turns out this is what I've been waiting for all these years.

lyrics

I only meant to make you smile
But it seems I might have gone too far
Though I should have known all the while
That your smile is the Northern Star

It carried me home
When I was lost and alone
The fire left behind
Just a spark in my mind
And it’s true what they say
That every dog has its day
And I waited for years

I only meant to make you laugh
Though it seems I may have overreached
So I’ll keep this photograph
And leave it on this empty beach

To remind me of you
And all the things that you do
With the sea as the frame
And the sky as the flame
And I hear what they say
When the clouds blow away
And I waited for years

I only meant to hold your hand
I thought that it would come and go
But now I finally understand
When before, I thought I’d never know

It’s a world rearranged
And on the surface it’s strange
Though a calmness inside
At the turn of the tide
Makes the heart full of light
With the end now insight
And I waited for years
