(Dolly Parton)
|
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
|
