When you feel like love is never knockin', knockin' at your door,

And it seems like you can't, you can't take it, take it, take no more

Please don't let them throw, throw you around

I will be waiting, anticipating
Em C
The love is waiting 'round the bend
G D Em C
God knows I'm trying and all of my crying will not go to waste
G
I see better days
I feel like running but I know I will fall down
I feel like crying but I know in tears I soon will drown
Time to take my own advice and give it one more try
With every step I take who knows a day that I'll get by
I know that you are, you're feeling blue
I know that you don't believe in you
But I know that time will see you through
And I, and I, will be waiting, anticipating,
the love it's, it's waiting 'round the bend
God knows I'm trying and all of my crying will not go to waste
I see better days
When the world gets long and you don't think you'll make it one more day
Just turn your head and push the hated bigotry away
Cause I hope that, and I feel that, and I know that our love will see us through
And someday soon
you'll see
better.
I will be waiting, anticipating, (You'll see that, you will see that) the love is
waiting round the bend (It's waiting round, it's waiting round)
And God knows I'm trying, and all of my crying will not go to waste(all of mine
will not will not will not)
I see better days
Love is, yes, love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the
love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the bend
Love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the
Love is,yes love is, yes love is, yes love is, it's waiting round the bend.
