Don't Wait Too Long
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.
[1st verse:]
You may have a certain someone in mind
Someone that some day you're hoping to find
The one that you'll adore is worthwhile waiting for
But the rest of the world is mating while you sit there waiting
So
[Refrain:]
Don't wait too long
With your castles in the sky
Don't wait too long
While you're waiting, time will fly
Love songs are best when they're sung
In the Springtime when ev'rything's young
So
Don't wait too long
Happiness may pass you by
[2nd verse:]
So much time is wasted waiting around
Just for someone who may never be found
And when the years have flown, you may be all alone
Looking back on the days you wasted, leaving life untasted
So
