I Waited Too Long Songtext
von Ashford & Simpson

It was dim in this room.
Out of patience too soon.
The flow has stopped in my head.
Feel confusion in its stead.
When will it be lifted?
Why must I be one more day without love?
Well, I believe in fate.
Oh, tell me just how long must I wait?
I waited too long.

I stand there looking.
The tide rolls in.
Says hello to a lonely old friend.
The sound of music from afar
Makes me a child again wishing on a star.
When will it be lifted?
When will I be fit for love to claim me?
I′m stretching out on the wings of chance
'Cause I don′t want to miss the last dance.
I waited too long.


Did you wait too long?
Did you wait too long?
Did you wait too long?
I wa-a-a-a-aited.
Did you wait too long?
I wa-a-a-a-aited.
Did you wait too long?
I wa-a-a-a-aited.

Oh, I'm stretching out on the wings of chance
'Cause I don′t want to miss the last dance.
I waited too long. Oh.
Oh, oh, oh, I waited too long, yes I have.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I waited too long.
Oh.

Did you wait too long?
Did you? Did you?
Did you wait too long?
I wa-a-a-a-aited. (Well, well.)
Did you wait too long? (Well, well.)
I wa-a-a-a-aited. (I waited.)
Did you wait too long? (I waited.)
I wa-a-a-a-aited. (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Did you wait too long? (You know I waited.)
I wa-a-a-a-aited.
