Would you say no if I asked you for your hand  Could you believe in the same words that I don't understand  And would you cry if I told you I must go    I've been waiting such a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever  I've been wanting you a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever    Would you say no if I asked you for this one chance  Am I a fool to believe that this night is circumstance  I wish that for once you could see the look in your own eyes    I've been waiting such a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever  I've been wanting you a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever    [Instrumental break]    I've been waiting such a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever  I've been wanting you a long, long time  I think I could stand you forever    I think I could stand you forever  Think I could stand you, think I could stand you forever, yeah  Think I could stand you forever, yeah - I think I could stand you  Think I could stand you forever, yeah - forever and ever  Think I could stand you forever, yeah  Think I could stand you forever and ever and ever
