She knows that, I keep a dozen roses
behind my back, I keep a couple secrets
under my hat, I keep her name on
the tip of my tongue, Let's go travelin' darlin'
while we're still young.

She doesn't want to get ahead of herself.
Love is too important, it's too important,
to rush through the
pages of a storybook romance,
to leave before the end
of the proverbial dance.

I know that I'm on her mind,
but, she's just waiting for time.
Waiting for time. Waiting for time.

I keep a look of confidence on my face,
keep my impatience in another place.
I keep my cool, but it's not easy around,
a girl like that becaue I know what I've found.

She doesn't want to get ahead of herself,
love is too important, it's too important,
to rush through the
pages of a storybook romance,
to leave before the end
of the proverbial dance.

I know that I'm on her mind,
but she's just waiting for time.
Waiting for time. Waiting for time.

I'd give her somethin' expensive everyday,
but she don't want it
and I ain't got it that way.
She's got somethin' else in mind.

She's almost ready now to give me her hand,
knows I'm not lookin' for no one night stand.
She knows I know, she's all or nothing at all.
She's in love, but she's not gonna fall.

She doesn't want to get ahead of herself,
love is too important, it's too important,
to rush through the
pages of a storybook romance,
to leave before the end
of the proverbial dance.

I know that I'm on her mind,
but she's just waiting for time.
Waiting for time.
Waiting for time.

I'd buy her caviar and diamond rings, but
she don't want it, she just wants me to sing.
She's got somethin' else in mind.

She's just waiting for time.
She's just waiting for time.
She's just waiting for time.
She's just waiting for time.
