Day 4: A Song That Makes Me Sad

Well, there are a lot of these, but for today, I think I'll go with "I'll Wait For You" by Joe Nichols. I love him. He has an incredible voice. Incredible. This song is pretty sad though. I find it really sad that this girl waits for her so called "sweetheart" all the time and it seems fairly regular that he's late doesn't seem worth waiting for to me. But, love, you can't explain it, I guess. So, anyways. This song always makes me sad for 2 reasons.
1. Because she loves him so much and he just doesn't seem worth it. He's always late when he should have been early.
2. Because it's impossible to wait for someone at Heaven's gates. When you get to heaven, you won't want to wait for someone from earth, no matter how much you love them. You'll want to go see God! So, yeah, I find that sad.

Here are the lyrics and a link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu6HyN-OoDQ

The snow in Montana was three feet high
The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights
And so he called her on the telephone
He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home

And she said: I'll wait for you
Like I did last year
At Christmas time with your family here
And your truck broke down out in San Antone
And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville
Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home
She says: I'll wait for you like in '68
When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
Remember, Dear, our son's first cry
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
And he finally got there around midnight
The doctor said, she's in a better place
She said to give this you this note just in case

And it said, I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate
Oh, I don't care how long it takes
And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in
Without my love and my best friend
Oh, this ain't nothin' new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you, too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
