I WAITED
(Buddy Wayne)
Mary Saenz - 1964
My darling, I waited, but you never came
I knew that something had gone wrong
Yes, baby, I waited and I prayed you'd come
I waited till the night was gone
I wondered if maybe you had changed your mind
But then I knew this couldn't be
For, darling, we'd ????? and this was the night
You promised you would marry me
I waited as the first train went on by
I waited as the second passed from sight
I waited and the last one made me cry
I knew that you'd forgotten me
Then I saw your best friend, he told me the news
He said you asked me not to cry
You hated to tell me you'd found someone new
I waited just to say goodbye
I waited just to say goodbye
Why did I wait to say goodbye
