I could write a thousand songs
Each a hundred minutes long
Filled with words and melodies
That try to make you feel at ease
But they won't do
Won't take away what you've been through

I could kiss on every bruise
Just like your momma used to do
To make it better than it was
By taking pain away with love
But lips can't change
All that may come your way, but

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
It's all there's to say sometimes
Everything will be alright

I could wish upon a star
In every sky with all my heart
Just like in a fairy tale
A happy ending to prevail
But we don't know
How the story really goes, but

Chorus

But I'll be waiting
Waiting for you

Chorus
