(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)
I couldn't wait forever did you expect me to
I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could
I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would.
The lonely nights grew longer as I prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that you'd return and that's how I got by
The agony of loneliness just got too much for me
I couldn't wait forever needing love so desperately.
So I found new lips to kiss me new arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness to fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted now my heart has found a new home
I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long.
I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long...
I couldn't wait forever did you expect me to
I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could
I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would.
The lonely nights grew longer as I prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that you'd return and that's how I got by
The agony of loneliness just got too much for me
I couldn't wait forever needing love so desperately.
So I found new lips to kiss me new arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness to fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted now my heart has found a new home
I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long.
I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long...
