When?
Copyright © 2003 Kelli Caldwell
ROUGH A CAPPELLA VERSION!
I watch you sleeping
You are a stranger to me
Have you been keepin’
Your light on dim?
I watch you wakin’
You stay a stranger to me
But I’ve been waiting to see
Should I be waiting to see--?
Chorus:
When—will you let me in?
Will you let me in?
Will you let me in--?
When—will you let me in?
Will you let me in?
Will you let me in--?
Oh—when will you let me
Will you let me
When will you let me in--?
Oh—when?
