I'll Be Waiting...

All set with my cup of Ginger Tea, I brought back from my trip to Sri Lanka. (Oh yes, I have yet to write about that trip.) I was reading Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search For Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert. A small note about that, I was determined to not purchase any more books till I was done with the ten over books I bought over the months. 

It so happened, I was loitering around the Airport Bookshop while waiting for my flight and the book was right before me. Tell me how to not grab it when it is calling out to me! Not only that, I ended up buying Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Now for that one, I had a reason! I have been looking for it for some time now and they never had the books in the stores I visited in Singapore. So technically not my fault! 

(So much for a short note. :s)

As I was saying, when I was reading the Pray sections of the book where she was describing her transcendental experiences, I was reminded of the following song. I loved the book by the way. :-)

When you are weary

Here's what I'll do

When you can't smile anymore

I'll smile for you

I'll be the raindrops when you cry

I'll be the sun when you can't shine

And when the world runs out of time

I'll be there too

Too many people

Too blind to see

Too many roller-coaster rides

Won't set you free

So, chase the rainbow

Chase the high

Become the brightest in the sky

When the world runs out of time

You'll come to me

And I'll be waiting

To catch you when you fall

To see you through it all

Don't turn your face away from me

Cos i'll be waiting

All through eternity

I'll be there patiently

Don't take your love away from me

When you feel helpless

When you're alone

I'll be the light upon the path

To guide you home

I'll fill the spaces in your heart

I will remind you who you are

And when you shine just like a star

I'll let you go

And i'll be waiting

To catch you when you fall

To see you through it all

Don't turn your face away from me

Cos i'll be waiting 

Through eternity

I'll be there patiently

Don't take your love away from me

When you are weary

Here's what I'll do

When you can't smile anymore

I'll smile for you

I'll be the raindrops when you cry

I'll be the sun when you can't shine

And when the world runs out of time

A'll be there too

And when the world runs out of time

I'll be there too

I'll be there too
