I Couldn't Wait Forever Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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 

And 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

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

So I found new lips to kiss me 

New arms to hold me tight 

I found new love and happiness 

To fill these 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 

I couldn't wait forever 

Forever's just too long
