I Waited (Eddie Biggins)

I waited On your front steps For an hour, maybe more I waited ‘Til the sun set By the light near your door But when I finally saw you driving up the street Some other guy was riding in the shotgun seat I waited For a moment Then I turned and walked away As the evening sky began to pour

I waited In a barroom Where I heard you might be I waited Sipping coffee Watching sports on TV But when the front door opened up and in you came I said ‘hello,’ but you could not recall my name I waited For ‘I’m sorry’ But you didn’t say a word You barely even looked at me

I met you at Diane and Jason’s party We were introduced and we talked a little while I felt passion running through me and I thought you felt it too But perhaps I misinterpreted your smile

I waited At my bedside For the ring of the phone I waited Then I realized I guess I should have known That I’m not the type who gets a dream-come-true Especially when the dream’s as beautiful as you I waited All for nothing So I drank a glass of wine And cried myself to sleep Alone
