Chely Wright Lyrics
"While I Was Waiting"

(Roxie Dean - Gordon Bradberry

I fumbled with the napkin, I had a glass of wine
I was a little early, I had a little time
I sat up at the bar talkin' to a stranger
It seemed a safe thing to do while I was waiting
While I was waiting for you.

He said that I was pretty then he turned back to his beer
And somethin' 'bout this stranger was subtle and sincere
He said he grew up in Memphis but he didn't like the blues
And our one dance turned into two while I was waiting
While I was waiting for you.

When you walked in the door, w hen you walked up to him
When you took my hand and said that you were cutting in
This stranger from Memphis was very polite
He said "You sure do have a lovely wife."
Wife, he thought I was your wife.

Well, that's what got me thinking, it's like someone slammed a door
You just want a girlfriend, I want so much more
You ask me what's the hurry, you say let's take our time
Well I say our time it just flew while I was waiting
While I was waiting for you to pop the question, for you to make your move
I turned in to someone new while I was waiting
While I was waiting for you.

Waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you...
