Sweet and Worth the Wait
Style: Gospel celebration

[Verse 1]
Rain came down on the awning roof
melons piled up gold and bright
somebody hollered your name out loud
and the whole street lit with light

[Chorus]
Ayesha, sweet as the ripest one
picked out from the whole big row
you're the kind that's worth the wait
and we love you, we want you to know

[Verse 2]
Storm outside couldn't touch the joy
found under that striped old tent
people came from every corner
just to see the day you're sent

[Pre-chorus]
Clap your hands, let the thunder roll
raise a cup, let the good times pour
we've been counting down to this

[Chorus]
Ayesha, sweet as the ripest one
picked out from the whole big row
you're the kind that's worth the wait
and we love you, we want you to know

[Bridge]
Every year you ripen finer
gold under grey skies still
nobody chose you by accident
you were always who we'd pick

[Chorus]
Ayesha, sweet as the ripest one
picked out from the whole big row
you're the kind that's worth the wait
and we love you, we want you to know

[Outro]
Let it rain on the melon stand
you're the sweetness that remains
