Wasting A Lifetime
Webb Pierce · Other Songs - Webb Pierce
Waitin' a lifetime is not any fun I feel like I'm wastin' my time
Someone to miss someone to kiss who'd let me stay in their heart
Someone to hold when lights grow cold and say that we'd never part
Waitin' a lifetime and longin' for love there must be someone for me
Where in my lifetime can that someone be who's waiting for someone like me
[ fiddle ]
Waitin' a lifetime for someone to love...
