I fumbled with a napkin, I had a glass of wine
|
I was a little early, I had a little time
|
I sat up at the bar talking 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 something about 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 waiting for you
|
|
When you walked in the door
|
When 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 the door
|
You just wanna 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 into someone new
|
While I was waiting, while I was waiting for you
|
