Music by Richard Marx
Lyrics by Fee Waybill
How long is it s'posed to take
Which song got the answer straight
I thought I sang 'em all
What face am I gonna make
Which leg to I have to break
To know I took the fall
It's like I'm standing on the edge of madness
Save me from crossing that line
Sure that I'll never come back
Chorus
With the dawn, life goes on
How long can I keep waiting on your love
Hold my breath, give me strength
How long can I keep holding on
How long can I keep waiting on your love
True love is a funny thing
Too much for a diamond ring
To guarantee applause
Too late when you have to guess
Which joke's taken as tenderness
Penny for your thoughts
Just like I'm hanging off the edge of madness
Stop me from falling so far
How can you let me let go
Chorus
I keep every moment frozen in time
And if they're all I get, I'll be cold the rest of my life
Chorus
