Waiting — Description

When you're far away from the one you love
Stop and gaze at the heavens above,
Whether the time be the sun-scorched noon
Or a frosty night with a glittering moon,

And there up above in that realm of space
I see not the sun or the moon, but a face
A beautiful face with a tender smile
Which tells me she’s waiting to make life worthwhile.

Perhaps tonight from her windowpane
She’s gazing aloft, on her lips my name.
As she prays to God, way up above
To watch o’er, keep safe, and return that love.

So when you’re feeling alone and forlorn
Watch into the night and the wakening morn,
And remember that westward across the blue
She’s watching and waiting, the same as you.
