A few more hours and you’ll be here
To kiss my lips and hold me near,
To tell me how you care for me
And chase away my misery.
A few more hours that we must wait
To meet and tempt the hands of fate.
I long to have you by my side,
But time has not been on our side.
A few more hours, which seem like days,
But then I’ll find so many ways
To show just how I feel for you
In everything I say or do.
