Chely Wright - While I Was Waiting lyrics

rate me

I fumbled with a napkin, I had a glass of wine

I was a little early, I had a little time

I sat up at the bar talking to a stranger

It seemed a safe thing to do

While I was waiting, while I was waiting for you

He said that I was pretty, then he turned back to his beer

And something about this stranger was subtle and sincere

He said he grew up in Memphis, but he didn't like the blues

And our one dance turned into two

While I was waiting, while I waiting for you

When you walked in the door

When you walked up to him

When you took my hand and said that you were cutting in

This stranger from Memphis was very polite

He said you sure do have a lovely wife

Wife, he thought I was your wife

Well that's what got me thinking, it's like someone slammed the door

You just wanna girlfriend, I want so much more

You ask me what's the hurry? You say let's take our time

Well I say our time it just flew

While I was waiting, while I was waiting

For you to pop the question, for you to make your move

I turned into someone new

While I was waiting, while I was waiting for you
