Play this progression - listen to the song to determine chord changes - it's

identical to the chorus, except that the final "F" is held until the verse begins

/ / A6add11 [Dm7]/[A] [Cm7]/[G] [F]]

Midnight hour's almost over

Time is running out for the magic pair

I know you gave the best that you have

but one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear

So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

I guess that's more than I should ask,

but won't you wait for me, please

wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast

You could go either way; is it easier to stay

I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around

But you gotta know much I - I want to keep you

When I'm away, I'm afraid it will all fall down

So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

I guess that's more than I should ask,

but won't you wait for me, please

wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast

la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing

But all the time we spent, it must be good for something

Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating

But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

I guess that's more than I should ask,

but won't you wait for me, please

wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast

la la la la la la la la la la la la lady

But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

I guess that's more than I should ask,

but won't you wait for me, please

wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast, yes it is

la la la la la la la la la la la la lady

But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

FINAL CHORUS

So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

I guess that's more than I should ask,

but won't you wait for me, please

wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast

NOTE: This is definately an oldie, but goodie. The lyrics are great!
