Okay, there’s a song and I don’t know the name of it or how to describe it well (which stinks because I can hum it just fine). The chorus is something like “I’ll be right here right here right here still waiting for you.” I think it’s a relatively new song, like within the last few years. It’s a guy singing. It comes on radio stations sometimes – that’s how I know of it – but I don’t listen to the radio much so I don’t know how often it plays. I can’t really specify more, sorry. ☹ ---

It’s not recent, but there’s “I’ll be right here waiting for you” by Richard Marx . ---

No, that’s nothing like it. I think the guy’s playing a guitar. ---

No, it’s much slower and quieter than that, but it gets relatively loud in the chorus. ---

Try looking [here](http://www.melodycatcher.com/)at this page where you type in the melody. [Here](http://www.wikihow.com/Identify-Songs-Using-Melody)’s a more general page. You can even use a link where you hum the tune into your computer mic. ---

That lyric is kind of an old standby and the first thing I thought of was the already meantioned song by Mr. Mr. Marx. How about [Wait for You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaHyvAMLk7U&ob=av2e) by Elliott Yamin? ---

Any chance it’s “[Waiting](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vASJc5-Wlxk)” by Thomas Fiss? Doesn’t have the exact line, but repeats “Right here waiting” several times.
