about

The song tells the story of an old woman whose greatest love was a man she hardly knew. This duet recalls the best of the 1980s power ballads, with a string section operating at the height of its powers. A swirling emotional ballad, with songwriting subtle and sincere.

lyrics

Standing at the altar wearing a white dress waiting for my man to come
It’s been over an hour everybody’s getting restless my daddy’s looking at his watch
He doesn’t really like you neither does my mother they say you’re a fool and a bum
But you are the man I wanted to marry, now you’re nowhere to be found

I’m still waiting for my man to come

When I was a young girl you told me you’d show me any place I wanted to go
Now I’m serving coffee to truck drivers taking a break from the road
I’ve got a new husband he is a kind man I’ve never heard him raise his voice
But every so often I look to my front door and wonder if you’ll walk on through

I’m still waiting for my man to come

Love in a story it’s always happy endings even if its bad at the start
Life is bad at the start, bad at the end with a lot of boring in between
I’m growing old now living in a rest home thinking about what could have been
But my heart still goes aflutter when I think I see you selling soap on the TV

I’m still waiting for my man to come
