Wait for You
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
I sat out where the leaves turned brown
Waiting there again, and again
I didn't mind the rain coming down
I only wanted you back, Ben

[Pre-chorus]
The wood was cold beneath my hands
But I kept still and made my plans
To tell you what I've always known

[Chorus]
Ben, you are the warmest thing I know
You steady me when I can't stand
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
Than sitting quiet, holding your hand

[Verse 2]
You laughed and shook the wet from your sleeve
Called the bench a mess, a shame
I said I never plan to leave
Some things don't change, and stay the same

[Pre-chorus]
The wood was cold beneath my hands
But I kept still and made my plans
To tell you what I've always known

[Chorus]
Ben, you are the warmest thing I know
You steady me when I can't stand
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
Than sitting quiet, holding your hand

[Bridge]
Let the leaves keep falling where they fall
I'm not going anywhere at all
Whatever comes, I'll take your call
You're still the one I answer to

[Chorus]
Ben, you are the warmest thing I know
You steady me when I can't stand
There's nowhere else I'd rather go
Than sitting quiet, holding your hand

[Outro]
The bench will always hold our weight
I'd wait for you at any gate
