I'll Wait (8/25/48) - Dinah Washington

If you happen to be late for our usual Sunday date

Don’t hurry, don’t worry, I’ll wait

Yes, I’ll wait a long, long while for your wonderful sunny smile

It’s funny, but honey, I’ll wait

You’ve been showing up late ever since we met

Is it to impress me that you’re hard to get?

It seems you always make it

That’s the reason why I take it

Surely, I can well afford hanging 'round

When my sweet reward is you

You know it’s true, I’ll wait

You’ve been showing up late ever since we met

Is it to impress me that you’re hard to get?

Well, it seems you always make it

I guess, that’s the reason why I take it

Ooh, surely, I can well afford hanging 'round

When my sweet reward is you

You know it’s true, I’ll wait

Is you, you know it’s true, I’ll wait
