Right Here Waiting：此情可待？

Right Here Waiting
Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day, and I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line, but it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never, how can we say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you

I've took for granted¹, all the times that I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter², I taste the tears, but I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby? You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive, this romance
But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby, you've got me going crazy?
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you
