Early Expectations

EARLY EXPECTATIONS 

We only just met a short time ago 

You’re telling me now that you love me so 

You can’t seem to believe that I don’t feel the same 

That I’m not ready to jump in to love’s little game 

But I say that love has to take time 

It may not be long before I do call you mine 

But you can’t expect me to pretend what I feel 

Is really true love until I know that it’s real 

You can’t expect a bat to go and take flight 

When it’s still six hours away from the night 

You can’t expect a bear to hibernate 

When it still is September twenty-eight 

The time will come, I promise it will 

You’ll just have to wait to see until 

The proper time for us finally arrives 

And our love will then hit overdrive 

In the meantime we’ll just see and wait 

There’s no need to rush something so great 

When a wine is aged is when it tastes best 

If we bide our time true love will pass the test 

You can’t expect a vulture to feed on the prey 

Until the last lion finally walks away 

You can’t expect a baby to laugh and not cry 

Until he is fed and his diaper is dry. 

Patience is a virtue, or so it’s been said 

Allow my feelings to move to my heart from my head 

Don’t expect me to act before I’m ready to do so 

And my love may go beyond what I think it can grow.
