It Seems To Take Forever



The hardest part is waiting for the ship to dock.
It seems to take forever as you stakeout the clock.
The hardest part is waiting for the test results.
It seems to take forever as you flip somersaults.
The hardest part is waiting for the phone to ring.
It seems to take forever as you play second-string.
The hardest part is waiting for the souvenir.
It seems to take forever as you see dreams appear.
The hardest part is waiting for genetic drifts.
It seems to take forever as you assign short shrifts.
The hardest part is waiting for the harvest fruit.
It seems to take forever as you seasons compute.
The hardest part is waiting for ailments to heal.
It seems to take forever as you good health reveal.
The hardest part is waiting for "soul-mates" to stand.
It seems to take forever as you research the land.
The hardest part is waiting for the service call.
It seems to take forever as you rebound the ball.
The hardest part is waiting for peace at this time.
It seems to take forever as you this mountain climb.
