This Boy 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.
Let me stay and talk with you and John
We could laugh and tell jokes all night long
Another glass and I'm sure I could explain
But you could maybe guess that I've got to see your friend again
Oh yes I know it's late, oh but this boy can wait
This boy can wait
Oh there's nothing more that you could do
I've just got to see this through
My heart beats so fast whenever you are near
My tongue gets tied up whenever you can hear
When I touch your hand why do we have to hide behind these doors?
If the world doesn't understand, then the world has got to learn
Oh yes I know it's late, oh but this boy can wait
This boy can wait
Oh there's nothing more that you could do
I've just got to see this through
Tonight, when I hold you in my arms
And I prove that I'm a man
Oh well I hope you understand
