Well I can’t wait to see your smile again
The one when your eyes disappear along with all my troubles
And I can’t wait to hear you sing a song
Maybe “Jesus Loves Me” or a song you learned up there

But I, oh I just have to wait
Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh I just have to wait

Well I can’t wait to hear your mama laugh
The way that only you can make her laugh when you get silly
And I can’t wait to see you in her arms
And know the wound so deep inside her heart is healed for good

But I, oh I just have to wait
Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh I just have to wait

And I can’t wait to dance with you again
Knowing that this time the dance will never have to end

Oh I, oh I, I’ll just have to wait
Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh I, I’ll just have to wait

And I can’t wait to see your sisters play
The way they do when all of you are playing all together
And I can’t wait to watch your brother’s face
When he can finally see with his own eyes
That everything’s okay

But I just have to wait
Cause I know that day is coming
But I just have to wait
