When I was a young man courtin' the girls I played me a waiting game If a maid refused me with tossin' curls I let this old Earth take a couple of whirls. While I plied her with tears instead of pearls And as time came around she came my way As time came around she came.
Oh, it's a long long time from May to December And the days grow short when you reach September And the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you.
When you meet with the young men early in the Spring They court you with song and rhyme They woo with words and a clover ring But if you could examine the goods they bring They have little to offer but the songs they sing And the plentiful waste of time of day A plentiful waste of time
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November But these few golden days I'll spend with you These golden days I'll spend with you --------------------------------------------- [edycja tekstu - avatarm]Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
