Ever Since - Lesley Gore

I dreamt you

I drew you

Long before I thought that I might never find you

I chased you

I traced you

And held your picture up into the light

All the weight of nights and days to long to list

All the parties I’ve been to you were missed

I’ve waited ever since

I met you

Tried to forget you

Even though I felt somehow someone had sent you here

To me

And as if you knew me

We picked up where we left off in another life

At times I’ve tried to settle out for so much less than this

Saved only by the hope in every eyelash wish

I’ve waited ever since

All the weight of nights and days too long to list

All the parties I’ve been to you were missed

I’ved waited ever since

I met you
