sounds that go deeper

An all-time favorite of mine. I could listen to this on repeat a thousand times over - and well - I have before. It's one of those that is so much bigger than the words. It's one that plays and part(s) of my life are replayed like a film in my mind. It will always be amazing...the memory will always be vivid....and will always be on repeat.

"If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place
For you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space
In your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way
Back to you
If you'll be waiting
(Please say You'll be waiting)

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel
The beating of your heart

Oh I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you
Wherever you are

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If its one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you hold a place for me
In your heart
A place for me in your heart"

-Tracy Chapman

This is one a my most favorite songs ever. I used to listen to it on repeat for days at a time. I had forgotten about it until now. I need to get that CD back from Miss Koeper. Thanks for the reminder.
