When the night has come and we are in bed, We find a light to guide us through our dreams. But when you’re gone, the stars don’t seem so bright; So I’ll just wait for you until morning light. Babyface, where will you go? I’ll be right here until morning light.” – Babyface in the song “Where Will You Go” from the album I Want You Back (1990) The lyrics to this 1990s ballad by R&B singer and composer Brian McKnight can feel like a message of hope when we are feeling lost or abandoned. As he sings, “When the night has come and we are in bed, We find a light to guide us through our dreams. But when you’re gone, the stars don’t seem so bright; So I’ll just wait for you until morning light,” there is an underlying sense that if only we have faith then tomorrow might bring new opportunities. The title,
“Where will you go?”
is a question that might be asked to oneself when feeling lost or abandoned. It can also seem like the right words for those who have had an emotional loss and are wondering what they should do next in their life circumstances. McKnight’s lyrics offer hope to continue through even the darkest times of our lives with faith in something better coming along tomorrow; as he sings: “I’ll just wait for you until morning light.” This song has been covered by John Tesh (1997) and Petula Clark (2009).
