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
