Analysis of Patiently



Patiently I wait for the perfect day;
Patiently I wait for what you are going to
say.
Patiently I wait as I sit here and talk to
you;
Patiently I wait for what you are going to
do.
Patiently I wait as I stare into your eyes;
Patiently I wait each day to see your smile.
Patiently I wait for the day to call you
mine;
Patiently I wait because I know it will take
time.
