Don't Make Me Wait Too Long - Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the

Heavens;

Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the

Same

First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted

Forever

But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke

Our hearts

You said, «Hope we meet again.»

I said, «Yes, just tell me when.»

Please don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

First a note, then a call, with such tender

Conversation;

I knew alright it would be, if you came to visit me

First a kiss, then we were gone, to love’s magic land

Together

But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us

So

I ask you, «Will we again?»

You said, «Yes, just tell me when.»

Please don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

First you’re here, then you’re gone

It’s that same old heartbreak story;

Thought that you’d be in my life

For more than just one night

But you say you got to leave

It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;

Tell me what did I do wrong

For you to leave me all alone?

I don’t care how long you’ll be

'Cause I will wait patiently

But please, don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long.

I never mind waiting, ooh, ooh

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the

Heavens;

Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the

Same

First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted

Forever

But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke

Our hearts

You said, «Hope we meet again.»

I said, «Yes, just tell me when.»

Please don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

First a note, then a call, with such tender

Conversation;

I knew alright it would be, if you came to visit me

First a kiss, then we were gone, to love’s magic land

Together

But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us

So

I ask you, «Will we again?»

You said, «Yes, just tell me when.»

Please don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

First you’re here, then you’re gone

It’s that same old heartbreak story;

Thought that you’d be in my life

For more than just one night

But you say you got to leave

It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;

Tell me what did I do wrong

For you to leave me all alone?

I don’t care how long you’ll be

'Cause I will wait patiently

But please, don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long

Don’t make me wait too long
