I will wait for you
Like I promised I would do
Although it brings me pain
And you always knew
What to say to lead me to

Believe it's not in vain
I was safe and secure
When you were with me
But it only could last
'Til the day that she
Took you back again
CHORUS

So I get by
On wishful thinking
That when you come home
You'll want to
stay
Give me your hand
Save me from sinking
Another day
Of wishful thinking

Sometimes it's lonely
And faith don't come easy
And dreams begin to fade
Then you reassure me
How good it's gonna be
When you come back someday
You said you'd be back
After you said goodbye
I have to believe
That it wasn't a lie
And you'll be here again
CHORUS

I was safe and secure
When you were with me
But it only could last
'Til the day that she
Took you back again
CHORUS
Another day of wishful thinking
Give me your hand
Save me from sinking
