I’ve been here such a long time
Waiting for our first dance together
You refuse to give me the time
So I wait forever

I could have walked away long ago
But I just can’t get you off my mind, no
I could choose to shut the door
Say I won’t be patient anymore

Love doesn’t give up like that
Love doesn’t say enough’s enough
Love doesn’t just walk away when the going gets tough
I know cause I am love

I can see what you’re trying to do
Fill this space with another lover
You should know that I have feelings too
And we were made for each other

One day this new lover will be gone
Like the rest it will be moving on
But I’ll still be here holding out my hand
I know it’s hard but try to understand

Behind the Song:
First Corinthians 13 is a description of the way our Father loves (and helps us to love!). Listen to the words changed up just a little. . . “I am patient, I am kind. I do not envy or boast. I am not proud. I am not rude, not self-seeking, I am not easily angered. I keep no record of wrongs. I do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. I always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.”
