Wait

It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh, how I've been alone Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried But if your heart breaks Don't wait, turn me away And if your heart's strong Hold on, I won't delay Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried I feel as though You ought to know That I've been good As good as I can be And if you do I'll trust in you And know that you Will wait for me It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh, how I've been alone Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried I feel as though You ought to know That I've been good As good as I can be And if you do I'll trust in you And know that you Will wait for me But if your heart breaks Don't wait, turn me away And if your heart's strong Hold on, I won't delay Wait 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried It's been a long time Now I'm coming back home I've been away now Oh, how I've been alone --- Wait - Bettye LaVette
