The sheet music:
Lyrics
There were times when I felt I could easily melt
In the first arms that happened along
But something within said “You mustn’t begin”
And that something wasn’t far from wrong
Chorus:
I’m glad I waited for you
But then what else could I do?
Yes, there were one or two I used to date with
But they always knew I used them to wait with
I’m glad I waited for you
I’m glad my heart waited, too
That favorite dream of mine has just come true
I’m glad I waited for you
