Lyrics
Waitin? for Love to Come Home Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1994
She promised herself that never again,
Would she sit and wait for the call.
No more regrets,
Givin? no voice to neglect.
No wantin? or hurryin? fate.
But then he waltzed in,
And her heart did a spin,
So there she goes again.
Chorus:
Waitin? for Love to Come Home
Walk thru that door and never roam.
Doesn?t seem right to be alone every night.
She?s waitin? for love to come home.
Verse:
It seems these two souls,
Have some learnin? to know.
They can?t seem to break from the spell.
But ?round ?round they go
Movin? in closer, then no,
There?s steps to this dance,
Letting go.
Chorus:
Bridge:
But now can this be,
Wasn?t he meant just for she?
Now he?s sayin? he has to leave.
