if there's no one here to share
the flowers in the garden
the wine
the Waiting for Godot
and so much modern time?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
The years perfecting a stance
of measured cool fade into insignificance
the moment one starts to understand
what on earth does it profit a man?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
for something special, somehow new
someone saying 'I love you'
Baby, I'm waiting
for that red letter day
You can sneer or disappear
behind a veneer of self-control
but for all of those
who don't fit it
who follow their instincts
and are told they sin
this is a prayer for
a different way
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
like Christmas morning when you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby, I'm hoping
for that red letter day
today
