Analysis of Standing At The Gate.
The day will soon arrive,
I will meet you at the gate,
When your plane arrives,
I cannot hardly wait,
To see you standing there,
At the next airport,
Knowing within my mind,
I have so much to sort,
Uncertain of my reactions,
I beg you to prepare,
Because you see my darling,
I will touch you right there,
When that day arrives,
I will ache so at the wait,
Crying heart felt tears,
Standing at the gate.
