Waiting For The Pain To Go Away Lyrics - Kim Carnes

(Steven Dorff/Milton Brown) 

I'm waiting for the pain to go away 

I though maybe that this would be the day 

At noon I tried a little smile 

Then I sat down and cried a while 

Just waiting for the pain to go away 

If I could only get you off my mind 

But these old memories treat me so unkind 

The way you laughed your gentle smile 

Still makes me love you oh so much 

I know that I can't get you off of my mind 

I see happy lovers everywhere I go 

Sharing dreams in a world for two 

He holds her hand and she holds his 

They never know how good love is 

We lost the only chance for me and you
