Wait Lyrics

It’s been a long time, now I’m coming back home,
I’ve been away now, oh how I’ve been alone,
Wait till I come back to your side,
We’ll forget the tears we cried.
But if your heart breaks, don’t wait, turn me away,
And if your heart’s strong, hold on, I won’t delay,
Wait till I come back to your side,
We’ll forget the tears we cried.
I feel as though you ought to know
That I’ve been good, as good as I can be,
And if you do, I’ll trust in you,
And know that you will wait for me.
It’s been a long time, now I’m coming back home,
I’ve been away now, oh how I’ve been alone,
Wait till I come back to your side,
We’ll forget the tears we cried.
I feel as though you ought to know
That I’ve been good, as good as I can be,
And if you do, I’ll trust in you,
And know that you will wait for me.
But if your heart breaks, don’t wait, turn me away,
And if your heart’s strong, hold on, I won’t delay,
Wait till I come back to your side,
We’ll forget the tears we cried.
It’s been a long time, now I’m coming back home,
I’ve been away now, oh how I’ve been alone

I lovoooooove it! i love all beatles songs so much!!! and this darn website has allowed me to wallow in the feelings that derive from their songs and it is so unhealthy bc i swear it's like my whole chesty area is swallowed up and strained and tortured by the songs. omgggg!! i just. love. the beatles! and this is a great song. i wish they could never die and live forever singing for eternity. why, why does life have to be so short that the geratest band that ever lived has halfway gone, and the other half will be gone before i'll ever get a chance to see them live or meet them or anything!! lol i'm sorry i know this isnt going into the meaning of this song (which I agree with maestro...it's pretty straightforward), but i have to rant somewhere lol. and none of my friends will hear it.

such a good song

Best line in the song: "I feel as though you ought to know that I've been good, as good as I can be." Given their escapades on the road, how good is good?
