I've Waited As Long As I Can
Music and Lyrics by Hylo Brown (Foggy Mountain Boys)
[G]I've waited for you and I've [C]always been true
But this [G]waiting no longer I can [D7]stand
I [G]know you've had time, dear, to [C]make up your mind
I've [G]waited as [D7]long as I [G]can
— CHORUS —
[NC]I've waited to hear you [C]say you [G]love me
And long for the day you take my [D7]hand
I [G]asked again last night for your [C]love so divine
I've [G]waited as [D7]long as I [G]can
Done all I can do; said all I can say
Oh, why can't I make you understand
I wanted you for mine but I'm wasting my time
I've waited as long as I can
— CHORUS —
Now I'll just say goodbye. The tears fall from my eyes
For you have made it plain that I can't win.
No one will ever know the pain that I've been through.
I've waited as long as I can
— CHORUS — [× 2]
