| The once fleet mornings linger by the way | B |

| How can I wait Of old the rapid hours | D |
| Refused to pause or loiter with me long | E |

| And make no haste but slowly stroll among | F |
| The summer blooms not heeding my one song | E |
| How can I wait | C |

| How can I wait The nights alone are kind | G |
| They reach forth to a future day and bring | H |

| How can I wait The morning breaks the spell | I |
| A pitying night has flung upon my soul | J |

| My heart has need of patience and control | J |
| Before we meet hours days and weeks must roll | J |
| How can I wait | C |

| How can I wait Oh Love how can I wait | C |
| Until the sunlight f your eyes shall shine | K |
| Upon my world that seems so desolate | L |
| Until your hand clasp warms my blood like wine | K |
| Until you come again oh Love of mine | K |
| How can I wait | C |
