Verse 1 Every evening finds me dreamin’, John, With your name upon my mind, Moon hangs low outside my window, And I see your face in moonlight shine. I can almost feel your fingers Gently reaching out for mine… Lord, I’m waiting on tomorrow, Prayin’ love won’t take its time. Chorus Until then, my darlin’ John, I’ll carry you through every dawn, Through the silence and the sorrow, Through tonight and through tomorrow. And if Heaven’s kind and mercy’s strong, It won’t be long… it won’t be long… Till I’m standing in your arms Where this heart’s been all along. Verse 2 Life’s been tangled like old branches, Heavy with the storm and rain, But you came soft as summer thunder And you eased a world of pain. Never pushed me, never hurried, Only held me with such grace… Lord, I never knew a love Could feel like peace in such a place. Chorus Until then, my darlin’ John, I’ll carry you through every dawn, Through the silence and the sorrow, Through tonight and through tomorrow. And if Heaven’s kind and mercy’s strong, It won’t be long… it won’t be long… Till I’m standing in your arms Where this heart’s been all along. Bridge And if I had to tell the truth, Like only midnight hearts can do… I’d say this soul belongs beside you, And every road keeps leading to you. Your touch wakes every sleeping part of me, Your voice falls sweet like a melody… And darling, if love’s a prayer Then every prayer I pray is you. Verse 3 I ache for all the little moments, Morning light and evening glow, Laughing free with no more hiding, Loving where the whole world knows. Your hand in mine with nothing between us, No more shadows left to part… Just you beside me in the daylight And my name written on your heart. Final Chorus Until then, my darlin’ John, I’ll carry you through every dawn, And I’ll whisper low to Heaven Bring that sweet day on. And if the good Lord grants our hearts The love we’ve waited on so long… You’ll find me there beside you, John… Right where I’ve belonged all along. Outro So until then, sweet John… Until then… Know you’re loved And youve always been.
