Lyrics

Hearts That Wait

Verse: They leaned against the bleachers at opposite ends of the gym.
She closed her eyes and prayed to God for just one dance with him.
Suddenly, he stood there, but to her surprise,
He was askin' her best friend for the last dance of the night.

Build: She couldn't bear to watch them,
So she ran home in tears.
With a hug, her mama told her,
"It may take years, . . . but . . .


CHORUS: All good things come to hearts that wait.
Nothin' in love is ever a mistake.
You might have heard it said before,
God opens a window when he closes a door.
A little patience is what it takes,
'Cause all good things come to hearts that wait.


Verse: Her 10-year class reunion had her drivin' back to town,
But just her luck, her pick-up truck decided to break down.
Suddenly, he drove up, she recognized that smile.
They hugged and laughed and reminisced, and let their hearts run wild.

Build: They made it to that ol' gym,
For the last dance of the night.
By the time the song had ended,
She knew her mama was right.

(Repeat CHORUS)

Bridge: He said, "I've had a secret since way back when,
I really wanted to dance with you, not your best friend." . . . She said . . .

(Repeat CHORUS)
