Who was I to make you wait?

Too Late
See the stop-light turn-in red,
Dont you listen to what its said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin hard inside.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Oo, yes, my friend, youre fadin fast, if you stay here you wont last.
Before your time has run astray, youve got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, its time to make the change, yes, its time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late, too late, to make the change
Too late to make the change
Too late, before its too late.

Rearview
Ohhh.. Ohh..
I use to tell myself that you would wait
I borrowed time for two and I twisted fate
I left us floating in the air for wind to hold on to
It let me down it let you go
I drive around like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you
Sometimes the things you want are hard to take
Sometimes the ones you love are risks you don't make, yeah
The dust has settled into nothingness
and I yearn for yesterday
Just look around
I'm still the same
I drive around like everything's okay
like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
and I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you
So many things that we didn't say
So many reasons the world's not the same
Oh, it's not the same
I drive around like nothing's here has changed
But I know the sky has one more cloud to break
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you
I said I
I drive and everything has changed
ohh..
and I feel the lightening it's in my own mistakes
and I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
and now I don't see you
I used to tell myself
that you
would wait

Your wish is great (to my grandson)
Your wish is great
But don't be late!
No one denies
That time flies.
Do not relate
That it's a tale!
Yes, you can fail
And make mistakes
In this or other case.
But do be strong!
Your life is long.
And don't be wrong!
Do not complain!
But try again!
Your wish is great!
You shouldn't wait
For Fairy to come
Or for someones alarm
But do your best!
And you'll be blessed.

Much Too Old and Too Lazy
You wanna go to bed early,
And get up late.
You wanna make demands,
And not appreciate.
You want to say what you wanna,
And think you are great.
But today is that day,
No more mistakes you make.
You are much too old and too lazy for me.
And today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're going to do something around here if you want to eat.
Because today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're going to clean your room and sweep the floor.
Because today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're gonna do as I say or get your own place.
You wanna go to bed early,
And get up late.
You wanna make demands,
And not appreciate.
Tired of you,
I am.
You are much too old and too lazy for me.
And today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're going to do something around here if you want to eat.
Because today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're going to clean your room and sweep the floor.
Because today is that day no more mistakes you make.
You're gonna do as I say or get your own place.
You wanna go to bed early,
And get up late.
You wanna make demands,
And not appreciate.
You want to say what you wanna,
And think you are great.
But today is that day,
No more mistakes you make.
Tired of you,
I am.
You are much too old and too lazy for me.
Tired of you,
I am.
You are much too old and too lazy for me.
Tired of you,
I am.

I Don't Know
I'm nothing fancy
I'm nothing special that's true
But I know what your thinkin'
Cuz I'm thinkin' that same thing too
Now you'd like everything to go your way
And I should probably say everything you'd like me to say
But that's not me and baby that just wouldn't be you
You better watch how long you wait
Cuz baby you might wait too long
[CHORUS]
I don't know if I could make you happy
And I don't know if I could make you cry
I don't know if the clock stops at midnight
I can't see past forever but together we can fly
Together we can fly
Now let's pretend for a while that we've got no place to be
You've been broken before but baby that wasn't me
Now I'm trying to ask you to come
To that same old place that you've been runnin' from
We've been down that road
You know there's nothing to see
You better watch how long you wait
Cuz baby you might wait too
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Bay there' no use in waiting
I can see that your hopes are fading
They tell me that time is precious baby
Why do you keep wastin' time?
[REPEAT CHORUS]

How Long
Hey there mr. taxi driver
Take me to the station
Ive been around for too long
You said I lack understanding
That I dont know right from wrong
But oh no
Theres a road that a man has to take
Theres a road and its filled with my mistakes
Ooh baby! dont misunderstand me
How long will it take
How long can you wait
Tell me how long
When we are living in a world
Of loves imagination
Senorita plays for the people who bother
Outside those old department stores
Shes singing out loud for no reason
About a travelling man shes been hanging around
But oh no
Theres a road that a man has to take
Theres a road and its filled with my mistakes
Ooh baby, dont you misunderstand me
How long will it take
How long can you wait
Tell me how long
When we are living in a world
Of loves imagination
So I should beg for some forgiveness
Borrowed time
cause someone else can wait that long again
If only youll be leavin
Tell me just ...
How long

I Cant Make It On Time
I cant make it on time.
I cant make it on time.
I keep tryin and tryin
I cant make it on time.
I cant hurry and you cant wait. it doesnt
Matter cause were already late.
I cant get off the telephone.
It always rings when Im alone.
You gotta wait wait cause you dont
Need no one. wait wait, cause you
Know that Im the one.
You gotta wait. hey, hey hey. wait.

Time Bomb?
I think i love you
But thought too late
Now it looks like
I'll have to wait
But how long am i gonna have to wait for?
You've found another
And live with her
And now i hardly see you
But think of the good times that we shared
How long am i gonna have to wait for?
Will you ever come back to me?
And start what we never started
I feel it in my heart
Still feels new
Long am i gonna have to wait for?
You always seem glad to see me
An wanna spend more time
Like i wanna spend with you
No lies
Am i gonna have to wait for?
I made you happy
Didn't i?
But it never got that far
I gonna have to wait for?
Our friends said
We were made for each other
But we never saw it then
I see it now
As clear as i see your eyes
Gonna have to wait for?
Do you love her
You said you do
But do you really mean it
Does she feel the same
Have to wait for?
What's the answer
Going to be
Will i know
Or do i carry on
To wait for?
I just don't know
Wait for?
Running outta time
For?

I Can't Make It On Time

Suspicious
I looked for you
but you were late.
You know my impatience.
I hate to wait.
I started to think
about when we met
You never were late
and I could set
my watch by you.
But now my love
it seems all I do
is wait and wait.
I saw your approach
with guilt on your face.
You know my suspicion
I can't erase.
' I'm sorry I'm late.'
You started to explain.
' I lost track of time.'
I didn't complain.
I checked my watch,
the time, the date
and knew I would never again
wait and wait.

Cant Wait
Rush/linde
Cant wait till we get back together
Cant wait, the sooner the better
Its late, I should have told you long ago
I hope that we can set things straight
What Ive got in my heart wont wait
Tomorrow may be too late to apologise to you
Ooh I wish that it was tonight
With our troubles behind us, tonight
Go where no one can find us tonight
With no city to blind us tonight
As I sit here and say oh gee
As the feeling just sweeps over me
Takes me into the night floating free
In a skyward direction
My soul has been freed by your love and affection
Cant wait till we get back together
Cant wait, the sooner the better
Its late, and I still cant taste your kiss
And you know that a love like this
It just cant wait
It cant wait, no no no
It cant wait, no no no
It cant wait, no no no
It cant wait, no no no....

Make It Right Tonight
(andy hill)
Producer for bonnie: andy hill
Its gonna take time for us to trust again
I can see it in your eyes
All these walls youve been building around yourself
To keep the hurt away
Keep the tenderness inside
Weve gotta find doors
Gotta find an open road to your heart
Came on baby
You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
Im hanging on
Loves right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It wont take it long to make it right
We can make it right tonight
Weve got to find words to heal these differences
Gotta find some peace of mind
Therell come a day youll realise that
After all, were only human
No-ones perfect all the time
But youve gotta hold on tight as hell to your dream
Its never too late baby
You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
Im hanging on
Loves right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It wont take it long to make it right
We can make it right tonight
Twenty twenty vision
Looking back at our mistakes
But when it comes to now you cant see straight
Make this decision
Heavens here for us to take
And heaven wont wait
Make this decision
Heavens here for us to take
And heaven wont wait

Patience Is A Virtue
Everything comes to those that wait,
If they wait patiently...
If not on time, it may be late,
But comes eventually.
Of course, I may be wrong on this,
Completely out of tune...
But wouldn't it be total bliss,
If SOMETHING happened SOON! ?
Time's getting on, it's flying by,
It's here and then it's gone.
In time, it's bound to make us sigh,
As it goes on and on...
A minute here, a minute there,
An hour fast departs!
That's quite enough to cause despair
And chill the warmest hearts.
I'd like to think that we've a chance
To get things right somehow...
Instead of this sad song and dance,
Why can't we get it NOW! ?
Is it too difficult a task?
So hard it can't be done?
Be PATIENT! ? That's too much to ask!
Am I the only one! ?
Wake up! Get up and on the move!
Sort out this ghastly mess!
Unless we see that you improve,
How can we say, 'God bless! '?
Snap to it! Please! Just sort it out!
There's no time for mistakes!
If you don't start, I'll SCREAM and SHOUT!
So that YOUR patience breaks!

Nobody Wins
Any more it doesnt matter
Whos right or wrong
Weve been injuring each other
For much too long
And its too late to try to save
What might have been
Its over
Nobody wins
Make believin in forever
Is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder
Each time we try
cause its a shame to make
The same mistakes again
And again
Its over.
Nobody wins
Weve gone too far too long
Too far apart
The lovin was easy
Its the livin thats hard
And theres no need to stay and see
The way it ends
Its over.
Nobody wins

Chit Chat That You Patter
Don't be too late.
Or make me wait my patience's gone.
Don't be too late.
So much at stake I've bet on.
Don't be too late.
Or make me wait my patience's gone.
Don't be too late.
So much at stake I've bet on.
It's not about my cool,
You depend and count on.
Or a chit chat that you patter fast.
You depend and count on.
And it's not about 'rules'...
To change as if,
I'm a game that you play.
It's not about the rules.
Or that chit chat that you patter.
It's not about my cool.
Since to you that doesn't matter.
As long as I stay...
A game that you play.
Don't be too late.
It's not about my cool.
Or make me wait.
This is not about who rules.
So much at stake,
You will never realize because you've never sacrificed.
It's not about my cool.
Or a chit chat that you patter fast.
Or none you will identify...
As if to you it matters.
It's not about the rules.
Or deciding you will change your mind,
Whenever I give you my time.

Its Too Late Now
Remember how lonely I told you it would be
Without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that Ive found somebody new
Youve changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say
Chorus:
Its too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
Id be your fool
And I would sit right here an wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
Im sorry its too late now
Well didnt I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late
To say youd made a big mistake
And now youve come back like youve never been gone
Well baby youre wrong
Somebody else has taken your place

What You Waitin' For
Verse 1:
I know I met you last night
As soon as you walked by me
You didn't really have to speak
Didn't take a long time
For me to peep how you
Really wanna get with me
B-Section:
So whatcha say
Better step to the plate
Don't be afraid
Before you wait too late
Stop playing games
Ain't got no time to waste
Don't hesitate
Or somebody's gonna take your place
Hook:
Come on, Come on
Tell me what it is you're waiting for
Whatcha waiting for (4x's)
Verse 2:
I don't pay no never mind
To the people that are vibin'
You're the only one I see
I know you see me checkin' for you
Do what you gotta do
Why don't you make a scene
B-Section:
So whatcha say
Better step to the plate
Don't be afraid
Before you wait too late
Stop playing games
Ain't got no time to waste
Don't hesitate
Somebody's gonna take your place

Come on, Come on
Tell me what it is you're waiting for
Whatcha waiting for (4x's)

Seven Days
I dont care if the rain dont shine
Oh, I dont care if the sun dont fall
You are the one in a million, child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I cant slow them down
But I cant sleep at night
Because youre not around
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
To be waiting for you girl
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
To be without you girl
Ive tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There is only one solution, girl
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didnt think
That I could read your mind
But I cant sleep at night
cause baby youre on mine
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
Oh, I miss you girl
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
I cant wait
Seven days is a long time
To be without you
I cant wait
Seven days is just too long
Just too long
