(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)      I couldn't wait forever did you expect me to   I guess you thought I'd never find somebody new   I lived on dreams and promises as long as I could   I couldn't wait forever the way you thought I would.      The lonely nights grew longer as I prayed for time to fly   I lived on hopes that you'd return and that's how I got by   The agony of loneliness just got too much for me   I couldn't wait forever needing love so desperately.      So I found new lips to kiss me new arms to hold me tight   I found new love and happiness to fill these empty nights   You took my love for granted now my heart has found a new home   I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long.      I couldn't wait forever forever's just too long...
