A Song For You.....

I have been looking for this particular song for so, so long. First when I heard this song was during the broadcasted advertisement about the Live&Loud in KL last year. When they played the chorus part, I was hooked. Sadly, that was the only part that I managed to get. Some more I didn't know the title and the singer, it has been a hard time for me to hunt for it. I keep on guessing who was the singer and lurking around YouTube to look for it but never succeeded. I almost gave up.

I am not sure whether this happens to anyone but somehow this is always true for my case. The time when you least expect it, at that time it will come to you. This afternoon, I was just browsing through my friend's handphone music player. And, eventually, I came to a stop for a song, entitled, "Wait For You". If I didn't listen any longer to hear the chorus part as I was about to switch to other songs randomly, I would never know that is the song I was looking for. OMG! Where is it while I was looking for it before? I guess my life works this way. Thing comes when I don't expect it.

And, I just knew that the singer is not a black guy. No, don't get me wrong. I am not being racist or discriminate or something. The flow of the song reminded me of Brian McKnight singing Back At One. No wonder I failed to locate the song in the first place because while I was searching for it, I only thought of black guy singer! Obviously, he is not. Plus, I don't really watch American Idol, so I don't know who Elliot Yamin is.

What matters now is, I finally found it.
Love the song, love the melody, love the lyrics. I adore and treasure the songs that hook me. =)

Wait For You, by Elliot Yamin

*The quality of this video and audio is quite bad. Anyway, I have this song in my playlist.

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you
and I'm wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know
so now I'm all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin' down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

[Chorus:]
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me?
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying

Baby why can't we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough

[Chorus:]
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
I'll be waiting...
