Benjy Davis Project - Wait lyrics

La, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la She was born in April 1783 The only daughter of a lawyer in a little town that skirted the sea She showed her mother's beauty And when she caught his eye He was taken by her innocence it'd only be a matter of time But then one day a cold wind blew and she took ill and wouldn't make it long And all that he could do was sit and wonder how something so right could go so wrong And before she died he told her that he loved her He said I know we'll be together sometime soon He said I don't believe in heaven as he brushed his tears aside And he added just before he closed her eyes If you think that this was good Wait until the next life It was a Friday 1983 He was a parking lot attendant in a little town in North Tennessee A car approaching And when they met eyes They sort of smiled at one another for a while but they didn't know why Then something made her shudder like a bu*terfly set free from her cocoon A flash of indistinguishable moments shared in rainy afternoons They were married on the second day of summer Watched the beauty turn to wrinkles over time And before he died she told him that she loved him And it was when she said these words he realized If you think that this was good Wait until the next life So if you feel like you have known someone forever Don't just walk away and spend the night alone Because it could be someone far behind your future Waiting for their heart to come back home And if you think that this was good Wait until the next life
