Had a Little Time
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.
It's better not to hurry and have it all right now
And wait for many kisses coming from your mouth
You said I shouldn't worry it's good to have a break
I don't know how much more of that I can take
I hoped I prayed it started gettin' late
I had a little time had a little time
I'm hopin' that you'll join me while I'm hanging on the vine
Had a little time had a little time
Wondering if you're ever gonna realize
Since I was just a young'un drinking my coco down
I knew I had it coming when you moved to town
I'm not like Rip Van Winkle I can't sleep through it all
Reincarnated as the guy that you make fall
You'll laugh you'll cry I'll see you by and by
When you have a little time have a little time
I'm hopin' someday you'll join me while I'm hangin' on the vine
I'd walk I'd drive just get me there alive
[ guitar ]
I'd walk I'd drive just get me there alive
When you have a little time have a little time
Hope someday you'll join me while I'm waitin' on the vine
Had a little time had a little time
Wonder if you're ever gonna realize
Had a little time had a little time
Hope someday you'll join me while I'm waitin' on the vine
Hangin' on the vine had a little time
Wonderin' if your ever gonna realize
