The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Street corners seem designed to lie in wait For a chance to get involved in lovers' fate And this one seems as good as any I've seen So wait here with me until six-fifteen [Chorus] I'm waiting for you But you're very late I know you'll come anyway And I can hardly wait Evidently There's a difficulty I know you'll come anyway And I can hardly wait Wait I see you approaching you're the eyes of the crowd The traffic and people, God they're all so loud But in a couple of moments they will all disappear Because we're ever so close when we're ever so near [Chorus] Punctuality Was never much to me Being yourself is the main thing Forget about the time Forget about the time Being yourself is the main thing The main thing The main thing love
