Waiting!

Sitting here waiting

It’s Christmas Eve

And I’m sitting here waiting.

For what?

For Santa to arrive on his sleigh?

For the girl I love to be in my arms?

For the game to kick off?

For dinner?

For the movie?

For the Christ child?

No!!

I’m waiting for the ring of a telephone

Waiting for another customer to call

Waiting for someone else who doesn’t have a clue

Waiting for the clock to reach five

Waiting to go home!
