lyrics

You were so sweet
I was so cruel
I played the field.
You played the fool

You stayed away
and dried your tears.
Letting the days
stretch into years.

Time passed and I went with It
I don't know how you did it but...
You made the waiting look so easy.
You made the waiting look so easy.
I'm so amazed that I could ever be worth waiting for

The yearbook scrawl.
The cap and gown.
Then back again
in our home town

I don't know where
I'd ever be
If you weren't there
waiting for me.

I wish that I knew then that
you'd show up heaven·sent and ...

You made the waiting look so easy.
You made the waiting look so easy.
I'm so amazed that I could ever be worth waiting for.

Fluorescent lights did you no favors
behind schoolhouse doors.
I can't believe that my behavior
won a heart like yours.

Fluorescent lights did you no favors
but the sunshine does.
I can't believe you ever savored
the wild boy I was ...

You stepped out of the corner
and I dropped my school-age armor.
You made the waiting look so easy.
You made the waiting look so easy.
I'm so amazed that I could ever be worth waiting for.
