How can I ask you now to wait for me?

You feel the hours pass like years.

I know that it’s hard for you

to live without our love . . .

but keep the porch light on for me.

You are my world, you are my everything;

you’re in my thoughts, I hear the mountains sing.

And if you go away,

my heart will break into

a million pieces,

fractured by the pain.

A million pieces,

they’re coming down like rain.

I can almost feel your gentle touch

as if time has come and gone.

I will dream about the day

when we can have it all . . .

just keep the porch light on for me.

You are my heart, you are my destiny.

You give me shelter from the stormy sea.

And if you go away,

my eyes will surely make

a million tear drops

salty with the pain.

A million tear drops,

they’re coming down like rain.

You are my world, you are my everything;

you’re in my heart, I hear the mountains sing.

And if you go away,

this heart will break into

a million pieces,

shattered by the pain.

A million pieces,

they’re coming down like rain.
