I Have Waited So Long

The speaker describes a long separation from someone they love and the hope of being reunited. At first, the feeling is patient but uncertain: they have waited and dreamed, and ask not to be told that their hope was mistaken. Finding their way “back to your heart” brings relief, though the ending still sounds anxious, with a plea for the loved one not to leave again.

“Counted the days” suggests that the time apart felt slow and that the speaker thought constantly about the separation. “Seeking in the dark of night” may mean searching without knowing where the other person is or how to reach them. The hoped-for “light” represents the loved one’s return or a sign that the relationship can begin again.

The lyrics do not explain why the pair were apart, or whether they have truly reunited. “Now I’ve found my way” could describe an actual return, or simply the speaker’s renewed hope of reaching the other person emotionally. The repeated request not to be told they were wrong hints at fear and vulnerability, so the reunion does not sound completely secure.
