Lyrics
I've waited for you and I've always been true
But this waiting no longer I can stand
I know you've had time dear to make up your mind
I've waited as long as I can
I'm waiting to hear you say you love me
And long for the day you take my hand
I asked again last night for your love so divine
I've waited as long as I can
Done all I can do said all I can say
Oh why can't I make you understand
I wanted you for mine but I'm wasting my time
I've waited as long as I can
Now I'll just say goodbye the tears fall from my eyes
For you have made it plain that I can't win
No one will ever know the pain that I've been through
I've waited as long as I canDemo Videos
About This Song
I've Waited As Long As I Can is a classic bluegrass heartbreak song made famous by the Stanley Brothers in the 1960s. Its straightforward three-chord progression and steady tempo make it accessible for newer players while still delivering that traditional mountain sound Ralph Stanley was known for.
