Not a Day Longer 

You say you’d love to love me but your heart is on the mend
And you wanna know if I’ll wait `til you’re ready to love again
Honey, I’ll try but I want you to understand
When it comes to your love I’m not gonna be the world’s most patient man

I’ll wait `til the stars fall from the sky
I’ll wait `til all the rivers run dry
I’ll wait a million years for you
But not a day longer

Now, I don’t mean to be pushy but I’ll be countin’ the days
`cause standing here this close to you nearly takes my breath away
If you and I ever get together 
I’ve got a feelin’ we’re gonna have a love that lasts forever, so

I’ll wait `til the stars fall from the sky
I’ll wait `til all the rivers run dry
I’ll wait a million years for you
And not a day longer

If your heart doesn’t heal in a million years
I’ll know you and me weren’t meant to be
and if I wait forever on a dream to come true
I’ll never get started loving you, so

I’ll wait `til the stars fall from the sky
I’ll wait `til all the rivers run dry
I’ll wait a million years for you
And not a day longer
