The Beatles - Wait Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"Wait"

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

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

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

It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how, I've been alone

Writer(s): Paul McCartney, John Lennon

Paul McCartney wrote this song while The Beatles were in the Bahamas shooting the film "Help!". Originally the song should've been included in its soundtrack.

The Beatles recorded the early version of this song during the last session for the album "Help!" but it was left out for unknown reasons. When it turned out five month later that they needed one more song for "Rubber Soul" they re-worked that version during the last "Rubber Soul" session to create one more song for the album.

album: "Rubber Soul" (1965)
