You are all totally missing the point of the song. It's about how the guy and he died and he's sitting in heaven waiting for her.

that is not the meaning of the song. this song is a letter to Cynthia Rhodes from Richard Marx right before they got married in 1989. she was in south africa and he was here in the states, so he sent her a track of this song saying that he'd be here waiting for her.
