I Can Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On my own,
There's no chaperone
But my heart still is mine
For the keeping
Tracy, take a rest
You can pass this test
You can still dream your dream while you're sleeping
[CHORUS 1]
If I can just stay true to the steps I've taken
It will all come through,
If it's fate, let it be
Cause now I see, I Can Wait
Change takes time
It's a long, hard climb
But I'll get to the top if I'm steady
And where love's concerned,
well, I guess I've learned
Just to trust he'll be here
When he's ready
[CHORUS 2]
If I can just stay true
to the steps I've taken
It will all come through
I'll let fate, set the date
It's okay I Can Wait
Plant the tiniest seed down below
Tend it well,
Then stand back and just watch it grow
Watch me grow
[CHORUS 3]
If I can just stay true
to the steps I have taken
It will all come through
Name the date and say when
But 'till then, I Can Wait
