If you wait for me
then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me
like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place for me
in your heart.
A place for me in your heart.
A place for me in your heart.
A place for me in your heart.

My daughter got engaged and she and her fiancee are now studying at two different universities. I am a singer and sang this song at their engagement party and ended up crying louder thant both of them. Mothers can be such wimps!!!!
i loved the song from the first day i listened to it.It reminds me of my love who is miles away studying.WHENEVVER i listened to the song i think of the promise we made to wait for each other.i will even send him the copy of the song for him to feel the words and its meaning in the song.Its just perfect.What a song!
It is not long since I discovered your true identity, I mean that you are a woman. For over the years I took you for a man. I did not know such inspirational lyrics might come from a woman. It has and always reminds me of the one I love eventhough she is far from me and this song has given me the impetus to wait for her in trust. Thank you Tracy for delving into soultouching lyrics for people out there. Indeed you are concrete and that makes for non-monotonous listening of your songs. More grease to your elbows Tracy while I will always cherish the songs of a woman with a "man's" voice.
when i play this music it always reminds me with my x boyfriend. i have this song with my cellphone and i played it everyday and everyday i always cry. i just dont know my feelings with him. we broke up because he still love his past girlfriend. that really hurts me so much.

because it is so true. it reminds me of my exboyfriend. the only person i was really taking care of and love. but we can't be together because of the distance. i'm afraid that he will forget about me. about us.
This song reminds of a man I will love for the rest of my life but could never be with again because he wanted me when he knew he could not have me he did a drive by shooting at my home he wanted to kill me cause he could not have me. That is true love.
I am so glad that sis' tracy got in our shoes and wrote these kind of songs that realy make us to have some dicision making , I'm realy inlove with my self, cause I am the only one who can keep the promise...
and the promise that will never hurt me, I realy admire my self.
and actually God keeps his promises for me... love you cheers
