Standing in  the airport I  am waiting for  a plane
Going east  to London want  to be  back there again
 It's the right  time of year  all the leaves  are on  the ground
 But I really only want  to get to you
Sitting by  the window watching ocean going  by
Soon  I should  be with  you but  how fast  can this  thing fly
Day  hours seem  like an eternity
 All the time  it took  me trying  to get  to you
That's  a little better  that's  a little better
That's  a little better
Standing in  the airport I  am getting off  a plane
Glad  to be  in London even though  it's pouring rain
It's  a bright sunny day  when I see  you run my way
 But it took  me twenty years  to get  to you
 It's a bright  sunny day  when I see  you run my way
 But it took  me twenty years  to get to you
That's  a little better  that's  a little better
That's  a little better
  From the "Notorious Byrd Brothers" LP Columbia Records 1968
 The Byrds Wait And See written by David Crosby
Watch  put what you say don't  get in my way
I'm  gonna get  that girl  wait and see
I  saw her today she  came by my way
I'm  gonna win  her love  wait and see
 And together  we'll go walking  in the evening  there'll be talking
 She's the kind  of girl  you never  hardly see
Have  you seen her eyes do  you realize
How  much love  like that  can mean to me
I  know she knows me today  I could see
 The way  she held  her head  when she walked by
 And before  the night is over  I think  I'm gonna love  her
 And if  it  lasts forever  I don't care
Now  that she is mine  I told  you all the time
 How could  I let  a girl  like that go by
 And before  the night is over  I think  I'm gonna love  her
 And if  it  lasts forever  I don't care
 The Byrds I Knew I'd Want You written by Gene Clark
I'd  like to love  you with  all of my heart
 You've had me on your  trip right  from the start
And  when you looked  at me with  love in your eyes
 I knew  I'd want you  oh yeah
I'd  like to hold  you if  you want me to
 I've found something new  girl just  by looking at you
And  it's in your smile and  it's in the way
 I knew  I'd want you  oh yeah
I  meet so many people I  feel I don't know
But  I felt so close  to you when  you said hello
I'd  like to love  you with  all of my heart
 You've had me on your  trip right  from the start
 And when you looked  at me with  love in your eyes
 I knew  I'd want you  oh yeah
