Wait
The Beatles · The Beatles Stereo Box Set [2009]
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh, how I've been alone
Wait - The Beatles
Released as part of The Beatles' 2009 remastered Stereo Box Set, 'Wait' stands as a poignant example of the group's late-period songwriting, blending folk-rock sensibilities with the band's signature melodic clarity. The track, originally recorded during the 1963-1964 era, captures the band's transition toward more introspective and acoustic-driven arrangements, reflecting the influence of American folk artists on their evolving sound. Its inclusion in the remastered collection highlights its enduring quality and the group's commitment to preserving their early catalog with enhanced fidelity. As a staple of their discography, the song remains a testament to The Beatles' ability to craft simple yet emotionally resonant compositions that have influenced countless artists across genres.
