Waitin' On a Sunny Day - Bruce Springsteen

Waiting on the day When my thoughts are my own When this house is my home And plans are made When you'll be there for me, baby When you'll love me all the way When you'll take my side in every little fire fight When you'll hang your things and stay I'm waiting on the day When my life on the run Bleaches out in the sun and Shows my age Waiting on the day When that voice comes to say That it's not wrong what you did for just a kid When you'll be there for me, baby When you'll love me all the way When you'll take my side in every little fire fight When you'll hang your things and stay I'm waiting on the day Waiting on the day When these words are in stone When the kids are all grown And we go dancing Oh, can you do it, babe? Can you love me all the way? Will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise? Will you walk with me before the morning fades? I'm waiting on the day

You and I were on top of the world From July to September the 3rd You and me were special Yeah, we were special It got colder and the colder it got Something else made its way in our hearts Didn't feel as special Until we weren't special It's been a while Six months later, I can say I ain't bitter now But every now and again I remember how We were dancing on a sunny day But when the beat dropped, nothing played We're the ones that got away But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day It took a while for me, but now I know I think I'm on my way to letting go, ah We were young and it's okay But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day Uh Everybody's scared of being alone So we started leading lives of our own Yeah, we hurt each other Didn't deserve one another It's like I had to lose it all to wake up To get a new point of view of what's love And I see it And this time I mean it, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh We were dancing on a sunny day But when the beat dropped, nothing played We're the ones that got away But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day It took a while for me, but now I know I think I'm on my way to letting go, ah We were young and it's okay But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day Are you happy? 'Cause I'm happy Your smile will start to fade away Sometimes I wish I'd stopped to say "I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry It's our story, yeah And it was always gonna end up this way" We were dancing on a sunny day (oh, no) But when the beat dropped, nothing played (beat dropping) We're the ones that got away (feeling brand-new, yeah) But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh) It took a while for me, but now I know I think I'm on my way to letting go, ah We were young and it's okay But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day

Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me "You waitin' on a woman?" I nodded, yeah and said, "How 'bout you" He said, "Son since 1952 I've been waitin' on a woman" "And when I picked her up for our first date I told her, I'd be there at eight" And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty She said, "I'm sorry that I took so long Didn't like a thing that I tried on" But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty Yeah, she'll take her time, but I don't mind Waitin' on a woman He said the weddin' took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous And waitin' on a woman And then he nudged my arm like old men do And said, "I'll say this 'bout the honeymoon, it was worth it Waitin' on a woman" And I don't guess we've been anywhere She hasn't made us late I swear Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it Boy, it's just a fact of life It'll be the same with your young wife Might as well go on and get used to it She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind Waitin' on a woman I've read somewhere statistics show The man's always the first to go And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready So when it finally comes my time And I get to the other side I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman

Sunny day While away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink From the river drink Bluebells Wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens, call of coaltit small Hover over river Diving, writhing, gnattring, chiff-chaff chattering Woodpecker staggering, hammering Exaggerating off his find Sunny day While away the afternoon Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink From the river drink Bluebells Wood dells where dwells a squirrel Who slinks along branched patterns heightens, call of coaltit small Hover over river
