I will wait for you
   Like I promised I would do
   Although it brings me pain
   And you always knew
   What to say to lead me to
   Believe it's not in vain
   I was safe and secure
   When you were with me
   But it only could last
   'Til the day that she
   Took you back again
  
   Chorus:
   So I get by
   On wishful thinking
   That when you come home
   You'll want to stay
   Give me your hand
   Save me from sinking
   Another day
   Of wishful thinking
  
   Sometimes it's lonely
   And faith don't come easy
   And dreams begin to fade
   Then you reassure me
   How good it's gonna be
   When you come back someday
   You said you'd be back
   After you said goodbye
   I have to believe
   That it wasn't a lie
   And you'll be here again
  
   Chorus
  
   I was safe and secure
   When you were with me
   But it only could last
   'Til the day that she
   Took you back agani
  
   Chorus
  
   Another day of wishful thinking
   Give me your hand
   Save me from sinking
