Night rain taps against the wall
Recall the day we stood enthralled
Old memories echo through my mind
Lonely grief I cannot leave behind
Time drifts on, new scenes unfold
Your home‑coming I still can’t behold
Late at night I’m lost in dream
When will we stand side‑by‑side it seems
Hope Hope
Wait for the dawn’s soft glow
Hope Hope
Heal every inward woe
Hope Hope
Though the long years flow
I still hold fast to what I long to know
Street‑lamps light the land out‑wide
Your familiar face I cannot find
Memories keep on growing strong
Deep inside my heart where they belong
World shifts on through rise and fall
In my dreams I hear your voice recall
Late at night I’m lost in dream
When will we stand side‑by‑side it seems
Hope Hope
Wait for the dawn’s soft glow
Hope Hope
Heal every inward woe
Hope Hope
Though the long years flow
I still hold fast to what I long to know
Though my hopes may fall apart
This inner fire won’t depart
Though great distance keeps us far
My longing burns beyond the bar
Hope Hope
Wait for the dawn’s soft glow
Hope Hope
Heal every inward woe
Hope Hope
Though the long years flow
I still hold fast to what I long to know
