don't wait too long

Don’t Wait Too Long

Summer is never ending
When you’re a child pretending
Now days and years are blending
Don’t wait too long

Widows in black and grieving
Priests with their beads believing
Time can be so deceiving
Don’t wait too long

Don’t wait too long
For the … to begin
Time is a train that won’t pass by again
Live while you can
Love while you can
But remember…
Don’t wait too long

Old soldier, campaign ending
Dreaming of his beginnings
“Closer” he whispers, clinging
“Don’t wait too long!”

Don’t wait too long Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long, let the journey begin…
