Porter Wagoner - I Couldn't Wait Forever lyrics

I couldn't wait forever did you expect me to

I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new

I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could

I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would

The lonely nights grew longer as I prayed for time to fly

I lived on hopes that you'd return that's how I got by

The agony of loneliness just got too much for me

I couldn't wait forever needing love so desperately

So I found new lips to kiss me new arms to hold me tight

I found new love and happiness to fill my empty nights

You took my love for granted now my heart has found a new home

I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long

No I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long
