“I Was Waiting for”
Jean-Paul VERNERET
21/08/2025

I walked without aim, lost in the crowd,
Time slipped away, indifferent and loud.
Then your gaze broke through the haze,
A sudden flash shattered the day.
In your warm breath, all bitterness died,
Your silence weighs, my memory divides.

Chorus
Everything stops around, no sound, no sign,
As if the world vanished in a line.
One single instant, and all shifts, all chains,
One single instant, and all flows, all reigns.

Bridge
My heart’s on fire, I can’t understand why,
As if our souls were already allied.

Your face is dancing on the edge of my mind,
A vivid image no shadow can bind.
I don’t know your name nor your story untold,
But I feel your heartbeat close and bold.
Your step resounds afar like a chord,
A secret song that draws me forward.

Chorus
Everything stops around, no sound, no sign,
As if the world vanished in a line.
One single instant, and all shifts, all chains,
One single instant, and all flows, all reigns.

Bridge
My heart’s on fire, I can’t understand why,
As if our souls were already allied.

If this is a dream, don’t wake me tonight,
Every second brings me back to your light.
As if I’d been waiting for this moment in time.
