I wonder

I wonder if you'll be there
To welcome me home
When I knock on your door
All alone
I wonder if I'll be able
To find the right door
But won't you be there already
Ready to take me with you?
And won't you know by my voice
How much I've missed you?
I wonder if I'll see a young boy
Ready to show me his world
Or will I see a frail old man
Ready to tell me a thousand stories
I wouldn't mind
If you could say nothing at all
I just want to see you smile
I just want you to smile with your eyes
I wonder if I'll get to know you now
Like I've known you all my life
I wonder if you're the same man
That I created in my mind
And together we'll re-live
All the memories of long ago
And we'll share all the bottled-up messages
That the tides of time washed ashore
I wonder if you'll wait for me
Like I'm waiting for you
No matter how long it takes
I'll be waiting to see you
