Love Never Waits

Love Never Waits                                                 February 16, 2006

I never knew she had it in her

To be so loving toward me.

All I had to do was ask,

But I was foolish and never sure.

So many times, I'd look at her

As she was taking a peek towards me.

Boy, what a fool I must be,

For love never waits for anything,

But I thought it would for me.

My, how she always strived

To talk to me, ask me out for fun,

But I was foolish, and I never did see the light,

And now, woe be onto me!

I thought she was beautiful, without a doubt,

And we were friends, she and I,

But that's the thing, you see, that's all it was,

The fact we were friends and that was all.

I said she was beautiful, and I must reiterate that,

And you no doubt wonder why I'm here.

It's because I gambled for the mythical top dollar

And you know, love never waits for anything.

If she wasn't good enough,

Then there ain't anything good enough for me.

If that's true, than I'm one sad case,

The violinist shall play me a requiem.

I eventually saw the light, but it was too late,

She had grown tired and found another man.

Love never waits for anything, for anyone,

And it doesn't matter if you're of high pedigree.

When love's there for the taking,

The clock's just a-tickin'.

It never, ever waits.
