she sits and waits   as he contemplates    what he'll say   to make her cry   he holds her fate   will he tell it straight?   or confuse her feelings with his lies?      her minds a phone   as the dial tone   sits and waits for him to push her buttons      what will he say?   will it ruin her day?   or will all this time be forgotten?      he doesn't know what he's got      he begins to say   the words his conscience took away   for those few extended seconds   and when she cried   her eyes will be forever remembered in his mind   as her deadly weapon      he doesn't know   and he won't till she's gone   and she's gone for good      well it's too bad   he won't know what he had   till she's gone   and gone for good   but what will really hurt   is when she's wearing her short skirt   as a movie star in hollywood      he doesn't know what he's got   till she's gone   she's gone for good
