Song Saturday #15 - Worth the Wait

A driver's license.

Summer beach trips.

The senior prom.

Your first kiss.

A college admission acceptance letter from Furman.

Really, really good concert tickets.

A job offer to teach at the most perfect school.

Roommate reunions.

National Board results.

Christmas morning.

There are some things in life that are worth waiting for. 

Big things, little things. Doesn't matter. The waiting stinks, but it makes the event that much sweeter.

You know what I'm talking about. It's the build up. The countdown calendar.  The thrill of getting to that day that you've been waiting on FOREVER!

As a single 28 year old girl in the south, I feel like my picture could be on a set of Old Maid cards. I mean let's get real. Practically all my friends are married. With babies. Did ya read that??? More than one baby. And I am so, truly happy for each of them.

But sometimes I feel like Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle when she says that a woman in her 30s is more likely to get killed by a terrorist than find a husband. And my 30s are only 2 years away. (Did I mention I paid $50 for wrinkle cream last weekend? That's fifty. 5-0.) I know I'm ridiculous.

Anyway, today's Song Saturday speaks to the kind of sentiment I am waiting for. When I finally meet the guy God has for me and fall in love, it won't be perfect.

But I know it will be worth the wait.




Hey Pretty Girl - Kip Moore

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way
Love's in the air tonight
You can bet you make this ol' boy's day
Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way

Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance
And the next one after that
Gonna make you mine there's a real good chance
Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance

Hey pretty girl, it feels so right
Just like it's meant to be
All wrapped up in my arms so tight
Hey pretty girl, it feels so right

Life's a long and winding ride
Better have the right one by your side
And happiness don't drag its feet
Time moves faster than you think

Hey pretty girl, wanna take you home
My momma's gonna love you
She'll make me sleep on the couch, I know
Hey pretty girl, wanna take you home

Hey pretty girl, let's build some dreams
And a house on a piece of land
We'll plant some roots and some apple trees
Hey pretty girl, let's build some dreams

Life's a long and winding ride
Better have the right one by your side
Happiness don't drag its feet
And time moves faster than you think

Hey pretty girl, you did so good
Our baby's got your eyes
And a fighter's heart like I knew she would
Hey pretty girl, you did so good

Hey pretty girl, when I see the light
And it's my time to go
I'm gonna thank the Lord for a real good life
A pretty little girl and a beautiful wife
