We're going through the impatient years

The years when the day seems twice as long

Restless and sighing and laughing and crying

And dreaming a dream people say is wrong

But we'll journey through the impatient years

To each other's arms where we belong, clinging together

I'm certain we'll weather the  warm and stormy day and impatient year

But we'll journey through the impatient years

To each other's arms where we belong, clinging together

I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day and impatient year.
