I've Waited As Long As I Can

—Hylo Brown

I've waited for you and I've always been true
But this waiting no longer I can stand
I know you've had time dear to make up your mind
I've waited as long as I can

Chorus:
I'm waiting to hear you say you love me
And long for the day you take my hand
I asked again last night for your love so divine
I've waited as long as I can

Done all I can do said all I can say
Oh why can't I make you understand
I wanted you for mine but I'm wasting my time
I've waited as long as I can

Now I'll just say goodbye the tears fall from my eyes
For you have made it plain that I can't win
No one will ever know the pain that I've been through
I've waited as long as I can

Verse:

I IV I V
I IV I – V I

Chorus:

I – IV I I V
I IV I – V I
