For You Lyrics

I was walking up the street
I was thinking about my dreams that might come true
With you

I was whispering in my sleep
All the secrets that I keep, I told to you
I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do

I was running home to you
I was hoping that you knew I'd wait for you
I do, I do
I'd wait for you
I do, I do
I'd wait for you
I do, I do
I'd wait for you
But you knew
You knew, you knew, you knew

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
