Do I have a story to go with this song....




Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
''You waitin' on a woman?''
I nodded yeah and said, ''How 'bout you?''
He said, ''Son since nineteen fifty-two I've been
Waitin' on a woman.''

When I picked her up for our first date
I told her I'd be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said, ''I'm sorry that I took so long
Didn't like a thing that I tried on.''
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman.

He said, ''The wedding took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
Waitin' on a woman.''
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, ''I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin' on a woman.''

And I don't guess we've been anywhere
She hasn't made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
Boy it's just a fact of life
It'll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
Waitin' on a woman.

I've read somewhere statistics show
The man's always the first to go
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman.

Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman...

You may think that im talking foolish
You've heard that im wild and im free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that i feel for you always will be
But your not just time that im killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as i live, this love that i give
Is gonna be yours until the day that i die

(Chorus)
Oh baby im gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long ill be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen


They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes a young girls brown hair turn gray
Honey i don't care i ain't in love with your hair
N if it all fell out well i'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well it's easy to see it's happenin to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you

(Chorus)
Oh darlin I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long i'll be faithful
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

Can we love
can we know
can we ever truly show
hope and joy and faith its true
with out trust to build our rule
I'm not sure its hard to tell
I know I love in loves re quail
but can some one love you if they dont
dont trust the facts that you make known
sure you can say I love you
but isn't that built on a trust so true
I dont know I am not sure
I dont think it matters in the end
I just wish those who loved me
trusted me with out reprehends
Can we love
can we trust
can we truly do both...
