Lyrics Don't Make Me Wait Too Long - Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway

Don't Make Me Wait Too Long

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the
Heavens;
Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the
Same
First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted
Forever
But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke
Our hearts
You said, «Hope we meet again.»
I said, «Yes, just tell me when.»
Please don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
First a note, then a call, with such tender
Conversation;
I knew alright it would be, if you came to visit me
First a kiss, then we were gone, to love’s magic land
Together
But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us
So
I ask you, «Will we again?»
You said, «Yes, just tell me when.»
Please don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
First you’re here, then you’re gone
It’s that same old heartbreak story;
Thought that you’d be in my life
For more than just one night
But you say you got to leave
It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;
Tell me what did I do wrong
For you to leave me all alone?
I don’t care how long you’ll be
'Cause I will wait patiently
But please, don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long.
I never mind waiting, ooh, ooh
First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the
Heavens;
Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the
Same
First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted
Forever
But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke
Our hearts
You said, «Hope we meet again.»
I said, «Yes, just tell me when.»
Please don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
First a note, then a call, with such tender
Conversation;
I knew alright it would be, if you came to visit me
First a kiss, then we were gone, to love’s magic land
Together
But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us
So
I ask you, «Will we again?»
You said, «Yes, just tell me when.»
Please don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
First you’re here, then you’re gone
It’s that same old heartbreak story;
Thought that you’d be in my life
For more than just one night
But you say you got to leave
It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;
Tell me what did I do wrong
For you to leave me all alone?
I don’t care how long you’ll be
'Cause I will wait patiently
But please, don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
Don’t make me wait too long
