Lyrics
TRUE LOVE?S GONNA COME ALONG
by Sally Fingerett c.2002
When I was a little girl,
I heard fairy tales about diamonds and pearls
All about true love sent from up above,
that?s gonna come along.
When I was a rockin' fifteen,
dreamin' in my room, with a romance magazine
Readin' 'bout love, sent from up above,
that?s gonna come along.
CHORUS:
And so I wait my turn, for that day
When I?m gonna have it all.
Just like the stories say
All about true love sent from up above
That?s gonna come along, come along,
true love?s gonna come along,
Gonna come along, come along, true love?s gonna come along.
From the picture books, to the nursery rhymes,
Under slivers of moon, I?m gonna hear bells chime
Tolling out true love, sent from up above,
That?s gonna come along, come along,
true love?s gonna come along,
Gonna come along, come along, true love?s gonna come along
BRIDGE:
How could this be, I think there's something wrong,
They forgot about me, how can it take this long?
How can it take this long?.?.
Here I stand, before the heart's own jury,
making my demands, for what was promised to me
Where is my true love, sent from up above,
when?s it gonna come along.
CHORUS:
And still I wait my turn, for that day,
When I?m gonna have it all, just like the stories say
Whether it's right whether it?s wrong,
One day I?m weak, one day strong
I just keep holding on until my dying day
For my true love, sent from up above, that?s gonna come along
Come along, true love?s gonna come along,
Gonna come along, come along, true love?s gonna come along
Gonna come along, come along, true love?s gonna come along
Gonna come along, come along, true love?s gonna come along
