The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- You may have a certain someone in mind
Someone that some day you’re hoping to find
The one that you’ll adore
Is worthwhile waiting for
But the rest of the world is mating
While you sit there waiting, so
Refrain
Don’t wait too long
With your castles in the sky
Don’t wait too long
While you’re waiting, time will fly
Love songs are best when they’re sung
In the Springtime when ev’rything’s young, so
Don’t wait too long
Happiness may pass you by
- So much time is wasted waiting around
Just for someone who may never be found
And when the years have flown
You may be all alone
Looking back on the days you wasted
Leaving life untasted, so
