Wait ing for to (Am)night,

I’ve (Em7)dreamed of this love for so (Fmaj7)long, wait ing for to (Am)night.

Oh,

Ten der words you say take my breath a way.

When (Em7)you would be there in my (Fmaj7)arms.

Wait ing for to (Am)night,

I’ve (Em7)dreamed of this love for so (Fmaj7)long, wait ing for to (Am)night.

Oh,

Wait ing for to (Am)night,

when (Em7)you would be here in my (Fmaj7)arms.

Wait ing for to (Am)night,

I’ve (Em7)dreamed of this love for so (Fmaj7)long, wait ing for to (Am)night.

Oh,
