Lyrics:

                                                  
Jimmy was thirteen going on twenty-one,
Every birthday wish he asked that his childhood would soon be done.
No more Friday evening curfews,
No more Sunday morning church pews,
He was tired of being young,
His dad said “Have patience, son”

CHORUS
‘Cuz everything comes to those who wait,
Some gifts get better when you get them late.
So don’t rush there, ‘cuz there’ll be time to celebrate,
For those who wait.

Jimmy was nineteen when Jean walked in his life.
He knew right then and he told his friend one day she’d be his wife.
The trip took longer than expected,
They both got lost and misdirected,
But her love was worth the ride,
And he knew his dad was right.

REPEAT CHORUS

Young people wish time moved faster,
Then they’re old and want to hold it back.
But Jimmy’s dad taught him what matters,
Is not when it ends, but how you spend,
The time you have.

Jimmy was forty when a phone call called him home,
He took a midnight plane and a propeller plane but his dad was already gone.
And by the plot of earth they laid him,
Jimmy found a spot for praying,
But he never felt alone,
’Cuz beyond that great unknown,

FINAL CHORUS
‘Cuz everything comes to those who wait,
Some gifts get better when you get them late.
He won’t rush there, ‘cuz there’ll be time,
Plenty of time to wait, plenty of time to celebrate,
Appreciate, you’ve gotta have faith,
Like those who wait
