Billet 17 : Wait

 Easy now,

Hush, love, hush,

Don't distress yourself,

What's your rush?

Keep your thoughts

Nice and lush,

Wait.

 

Hush, love, hush,

Think it through.

Once it bubbles, then

What's to do?

Watch it close.

Let it brew.

Wait.

 

I've been thinkin' flowers,

Maybe daisies,

To brighten up the room!

Don't you think some flowers,

Pretty daisies,

Might relieve the gloom?

Ah, wait,

Love, wait.

 

Slow, love, slow.

Time's so fast.

Now goes quickly, see

Now it's past!

Soon will come,

Soon will last.

Wait.

 

Don't you know,

Silly man?

Half the fun is to

Plan the plan!

All good things

Come to those who can

Wait.

 

 

Wait - Sweeney Todd
