Lyrics
The smoke curls toward the ceiling as I sit here and I think
About what I am feeling, searching for the missing link
My life was as the smoke, drifting scattered who knows where
Then you came and I awoke, but how do I get there?
Chorus:
Just a little while and we'll be together
Just a little while and we'll have forever
I've had little chance to grow, so, I'm not much of a man
I've learned everything alone, and there's much I don't understand
There's been no one to teach me about life and all it means
I know it's hard to reach me, at least, that's how it seems
(Chorus)
It will take patience and time and oh, so much love
To put me in line 'cause I don't push or shove
And there's no guarantee it will turn out right
We'll just wait and see and pray we win the fight
(Chorus)
Though it hurts to be apart, our love will bring us through
Together our new life will start when we're both free to live anew
Darling, I miss you so, I long to be with you
But we both know it's what we must do
(Chorus)
Read this when you need to know we will be together
My darling, I love you so, I love you forever
(Chorus)
