Carole Duet Poet Lyric

Tired of Waiting- Revised With Music

I'm so tired of being alone,
Talking on the telephone,
Biding time waiting on you.
What should I do?

If you'd just make up your mind.
Can't believe I've been so blind
I'm so tired of being alone,
Talking on the telephone.

(Instrumental)

REFRAIN:
Writing all my feelings down,
Shedding tears that make me drown,
But what good does it do,
Loving you,
So tired of waiting for you
Waiting just waiting for you.

You could make up your mind,
Can't believe I've been so blind,
So tired of waiting for you.

(Instrumental here)

I keep my feelings to myself,
Put my heart up on a shelf,
Spend my life wanting you
To want me too.

REFRAIN:
Writing all my feelings down,
Shedding tears that make me drown,
But what good does it do,
Waiting for you?
So tired of waiting for you,
Waiting just waiting for you.

REFRAIN:
Writing all my feelings down,
Shedding tears that make me drown,
So tired of waiting for you,

(Instrumental and fade)

Chris Green December 27, 2016 at 6:18 AM This one spoke to me, well, I guess I should say it sung to me. This feeling is all too common it seems and you have expressed it beautifully in this song. I'd love to hear the melody to this. Sadly beautiful Carole. Carole Duet December 27, 2016 at 5:08 PM Thank you, Chris. I value your opinion. I'd like to create a tune for it too but I broke my keyboard. Anyway....thanks for reading.

Probir Gupta December 27, 2016 at 6:03 AM wonderful ... a musically illiterate person like me too is inclined to hum some tune... very delightful ... Carole Duet December 27, 2016 at 5:06 PM So glad you liked it, Probir. Thanks.
