I Can Wait
by Tara Leigh Cobble

Album: Beneath This Skin

Yes, your offer is tempting.
Yes, your eyes are beautiful.
Yes, I'm getting kinda lonely.
Yes, I'm feeling kinda old.
But I don't wanna wake up with anyone,
Except "the one",
So I can wait.

'Cause I am tired of empty promises.
My heart's still broke from unpaid debts.
I can do without another fall.
I don't need no more regrets.
So I can wait.

Well, I know where your mind is,
And where your motive lies.
And it takes all that is within me
Not to give in to those eyes.
But I don't wanna wake up with anyone,
Except "the one",
So I can wait.

I can't sacrifice my future
On the altar of today.*
Jesus holds my heart for someone.
It's not mine to give away.
So I can wait.

Yeah, I can wait for him to come around,
Wait forever, I guess.
It's a lonely mile, but shorter than one
Laden with regrets.
So I can wait.

*Jim Elliot
