The melody drove the creation of this song. It began with the melody for the hook and then came the "junk" hook. "I'm waiting for a true love affair". Each time John sent me a new melody to work with, it was like receiving a frame for the beginning of a new song. I argued with him about the meaning of "true love affair" because true and affair didn't seem to agree....but now I've been blessed with falling in love...and understanding life can bring you a love affair to remember that lasts a lifetime....I'm so sorry John.......I finally get it!

I didn't want to be the one to go
I didn't want to be the one who broke your heart in two
I should have stayed around to let you know
that I won't be here whenever you want me to
I thought our love would stand the test of time
So deep inside...... the blame's all mine
I'm waiting on a true love affair
I'm waiting on my one and only
I'm hoping that one day she will be there
I'm waiting on my one and only ever love
and I know if I keep searching she will appear.
I know (one day) you'll find another love
Someone will give you all the things you never had
take you by the hand when things get tough
and be there for you through the good times and the bad
I'll keep your memory deep within my heart
even though we are apart.......
chorus:
instrumental break.....
I'm waiting on a true love affair
I'm waiting for my one and only
I'm hoping that one day she will be there
I'm waiting on my one and only
I'm waiting on a true love affair....
I'm waiting on a true love affair.
