How Can I Wait? Lyrics

How Can I Wait?

[JENNIFER]
I wish his legs was in these pants
His feet was in these socks
I wish his arms was in this shirt
And all of him was here

I wish his hands was in these sleeves
His face was in this towel
I wish himself was in this bag
And all of him was here

I wish I knew why every night
I ache and miss him so

[JENNIFER, spoken]
Especially when I'm gonna see him tomorrow by the ravine

[JENNIFER]
Where we always go

How can I wait, can I wait, 'til tomorrow comes?
How can I live 'til tomorrow comes?
How can I make every minute fly
'Til that shining moment when
I'll be seein' him again?
I'm gonna die, gonna die or be old and gray
Why is tomorrow so far away?
How can I talk, can I breathe, can I eat?
What can I do with my hands and my feet?
How can I wait, can I wait, 'til tomorrow com?s?

Starlight, go away, fade away, blow away
Sunrise, come again, mak? a new sunny day

Oh, what can I do, can I think about?
How can my heart keep from jumpin' out?
How can I sleep? Couldn't sleep if I tried
Where can I run 'til I run to his side?
How can I wait 'til tomorrow comes?

[Dance break.]

Starlight, go away, fade away, blow away
Sunrise, come again, make a new sunny day

Oh, what can I do, can I think about?
How can my heart keep from jumpin' out?
How can I sleep? Couldn't sleep if I tried
Where can I run 'til I run to his side?
How can I wait 'til tomorrow comes?
