I WAITED A LITTLE TOO LONG
(Sid Miller / Donald O'Connor)

Kay Starr - 1952


I could have had you for a lifetime
But I waited, yes I waited a little too long
I played the game but not very smart
While I took your kisses darlin'
Somebody took your heart
Well, I thought that I had done the right thing
But I know now, I know that I was so wrong
I could have had you for a lifetime
But I waited, yes I waited a little too long

(Upbeat)
I could have had you for a lifetime
But I waited, yes I waited a little too long
I played the game and not very smart
While I took your kisses darlin'
Somebody came and she took your heart
I thought that I had done the right thing
But I know now that I was so wrong
I could have had you for a lifetime
Oh, but I waited, yes I waited a little too long
