William and Wanda

[Verse 1]

William, where you been?

I've been waiting on you since only God knows when

William, come on in

There's so much to do, so glad to see you again

[Chorus 1]

I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious

I haven't been sad, for the reason in the rhyme

I haven't been cryin', that's somethin' that don't happen

I believed you'd make it here in your sweet time

[Verse 2]

William, I have so much to say

I started us a garden when I got here that June day

William, c'mon this way

Meet our little boy that died on his birthday

[Chorus 2]

We haven't been worried so much as we've been anxious

We haven't been sad, for the reason in the rhyme

We haven't been cryin', that's something that don't happen

I told em' you'd be up here some sweet time

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

Wanda, quit pickin' at me

I've been running late since 1953

Wanda, slow down, just be

Hold my hand while I rock this boy to sleep

[Chorus 3]

I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious

I've been sad but there's reason in the rhyme

And I've done a lot of crying, that's something just happens

I just hoped I'd make it up here some sweet time
