What are you Waiting for?
Little drummer boy banging on the pots and pans
Making all kinds of noise making music with his hands
Growing up into a fine young man he's a drummer in the band
But he's got bigger plans than that
You're not so little any more
So what are you waiting for
He wants to build a boat
And take it on the lake
And pretend that it's the sea, sail away just you and me
But money got too tight and life got in the way
And he turned to other means while he waited for that day
He'd say there's so much to explore
So what are we waiting for
What's the use of dreaming
If you let them go to waste
If you let them slip away
Why do I save it for tomorrow
When I can't say if there's another day in store
Why do I wait to say that I love you
Why do I hesitate
Why do I wait
What am I waiting for
Now he's rolling on through the rivers rushing by
Giving life to trees and vines
Leading sailboats on like mine
I hear him on the wind making music in the sky
From our backyard to the sea
Everywhere but here with me
I'm just trying to survive
But it's so hard to be alive
And oftentimes I wonder what kind of man he'd become
The things he would've done
Our folks would be so proud of their son
It's strange that they'll get old while he'll stay young
And if I climb the Rockies or if I ever sail that boat
I will take you with me everywhere I go
Why do I save it for tomorrow
When I can't say if there's another day in store
Why do I wait to say that I love you
Why do I hesitate
Why do I wait
Why did I wait until tomorrow
If I'd have known I'd only get a minute more
I would've told you how much I love you
I wouldn't hesitate
Why did I wait
I can see him shake his head
As I give in to the grief
Saying don't you give up now
Don't worry about me
He'd say your life is worth much more
So what are you waiting for
Just stick together and you'll make it through
And I'll be waiting here for you
Making all kinds of noise making music with his hands
Growing up into a fine young man he's a drummer in the band
But he's got bigger plans than that
You're not so little any more
So what are you waiting for
He wants to build a boat
And take it on the lake
And pretend that it's the sea, sail away just you and me
But money got too tight and life got in the way
And he turned to other means while he waited for that day
He'd say there's so much to explore
So what are we waiting for
What's the use of dreaming
If you let them go to waste
If you let them slip away
Why do I save it for tomorrow
When I can't say if there's another day in store
Why do I wait to say that I love you
Why do I hesitate
Why do I wait
What am I waiting for
Now he's rolling on through the rivers rushing by
Giving life to trees and vines
Leading sailboats on like mine
I hear him on the wind making music in the sky
From our backyard to the sea

Why do I wait to say that I love you

If I'd have known I'd only get a minute more

He'd say your life is worth much more
So what are you waiting for
Just stick together and you'll make it through
And I'll be waiting here for you
