George Bailey--Lyrics
By Jana Stanfield
VERSE Every December since I can remember I’ve watched the same movie, Despite what it does to me. “It’s a Wonderful Life,” But it passes by so fast. I hate to sound gloomy, But it is the story of a guy, standin’ on a bridge, Seein’ all he ever wanted. all the things he never did. Missin’ every minute of the life he never lived. Oh..............
CHORUS I don’t wanna be George Bailey Waiting, waiting, waiting for the right time, For a clear sign. Even if I make mistakes, It’s time I do whatever it takes. I don’t wanna be George Bailey. No more waiting. I don’t wanna be George Bailey. No more waiting.
VERSE I’ve got my suitcase stashed in a safe place, But I never packed it. Always too distracted By this wonderful life, but it passes by so fast, But I don’t take action. I can never see Paris if I never leave home. Gotta buy a ticket if I’m gonna get to Rome. Gotta get goin’ if I’m ever gonna go. Oh..............
CHORUS
BRIDGE I’m still waiting for connections, Waiting for ideal conditions, Waiting for the stars to shine upon my heart, Waiting for the day when I don’t feel afraid. But when my life is said and done, What if that day never comes?
CHORUS
CODA I don’t wanna be George Bailey. No more waiting. No more waiting.
