"Don't keep me waiting too long,
because that day might come when I'll be gone."

"Wasting time," some might say.  But that's a chance I am willing to take.  Are you worth it? - I don't know.  But I'll soon find out what the future holds.

A mystery man has crossed my path.  I took one look and suddenly I was hooked.  Kept looking back as he walked passed.  No words were exchanged, only smiles in their place.  After that we both walked away.
Days go by, and I start to think.  Who was that mystery man, looking back at me?  Some say, “It’s a small world." Then why is it, I have never met this man before?

Living life day by day, still wondering if I'll meet this mystery man again; another day. Time goes by, still no sight.  Somehow this can’t be right.  Don't know where to look, didn't even catch is name.  Now, I'm kicking myself in the ***, because I let him walk away.

If it's fate, we'll meet again.  But until then, I guess I'll wait.  That is a chance I'm willing to take.  Making the best of this little hope.  All because I refuse to let this mystery man go.  Standing still as everything else goes by.  I'll wait for this mystery man to accompany me by my side.
