She waited by the phone
But it never rang.
He waited by the phone
But never dialed the number.
She waited a long time
From summer to fall
From fall to winter.
The dead leaves swirled
The snow flakes fell.
She couldn't wait till spring.
She found someone.
Someone safe
And could hold her
When she was full of sorrow.
He waited too long
To dial that number.
He called one day.
Heard his voice instead.
He dropped the phone,
And hollered in pain.
He had lost
Because he had waited too long.
Time and tide
They said wait for no man.
Time and tide
Took his girl away.
He packed his bags,
Moved out of town,
Found a new life,
But did not find another love.
That love was once his,
But he lost it...
A twist of fate
Because he had waited too long.
