Someone is waiting
Cool as Sarah
Easy and loving as Susan—
Jenny
Someone is waiting
Warm as Susan
Frantic and touching as Amy—
Joanne
Would I know her even if I met her?
Have I missed her? Did I let her go?
A Susan sort of Sarah
A Jennyish Joanne—
Wait for me, I'm ready now
I'll find you if I can!
Someone will hold me
Soft as Jenny
Skinny and blue-eyed as Amy—
Susan

Sweet as Amy
Tender and foolish as Sarah
Joanne
Did I know her? Have I waited too long?
Maybe so, but maybe so has she
My blue-eyed Sarah
Warm Joanne
Sweet Jenny
Loving Susan
Crazy Amy
Wait for me
I'll hurry
Wait for me
Hurry
Wait for me...
Hurry...
Wait for me...
