Lyrics · early version

Wrapped in the darkness of a lonely night,
Arms reach out to hold you-but you’re not there
Then I remember the longing and the distance we share.
Sighing deeply, I softly whisper into the night air

when will you walk through my door?
When will I feel your first kiss?
When will you give me your love?
When will God give us all this?

Daylight brings happiness as your laughter and voice brighten my day
Dancing eyes and a knowing smile plan for that someday.
As we say our prayers and say see you soon
Hanging up the phone I softly whisper

when will I feel your first embrace?
When will my home become your place?
When will our lives together be?
When will God hear our plea?

when will you walk through my door?
When will I feel your first kiss?
When will you give me your love?
When will God give us all this?

Two years have passed since we met over a song
Two years have passed and our love is still strong.
Though distance and circumstance have kept us apart.
The dreams we dream will never die whispering softly in our hearts

when will you walk through my door?
When will I feel your first kiss?
When will you give me your love?
When will God give us all this?

when will I feel your first embrace?
When will my home become your place?
When will our lives together be?
When will God hear our plea?

When?
