Wait For Me


“The first time I sang it after I got engaged it was incredibly emotional for me. My fiancé Jacob’s grandparents were actually there for that show in Colorado, so I think it added something to it having part of his family there. But as I was setting up the songs, talking about the fact that I’d written the song for my future husband and never knew for ten years of my life who that was going to be and now I do, the audience just responded with such warmth and love. And I started crying as I’m intro-ing it. And singing the whole song, it was just – I was fighting emotion the whole time I was singing those words. Because there’s a part in “Wait for me” that says, “Waiting for the look in your eyes when we meet for the first time,” and that was there when I met him. For the first time meeting a guy, there was something very, very special right from that first glance. I actually ended up asking him once, I said, “Did you know the lyrics of that song when we first met?” And he didn’t.”Rebecca St. James (376)
