Waifs and Strays Lyrics

And so they say they're leaving
While you sleep away the day
You go out every evening
Collecting waifs and straysThey follow their illusions
They don't know what to do
They need a clear direction
That's why they turn to youYou're pleading
Please don't leave me
Don't go from me so soon
I need to be found
For I'm a stray tooDon't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrowOn the streets of Paris
On the streets of Rome
They find a home
In shadow or in coffee bars
Down the winding alleys

Through the brightly lit arcades
No matter where they areIn and out of life they wander
Little waifs and strays
They stay until you fall in love
That's when they slip awayIn the dark you'll see
Those sad brown eyes come shining through
Your heart will melt
You felt the way they looked at youDon't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrowYou find you need someone
To love your days away
Just when your heart is crying out
Please stay
Don't go awayJust wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrowYes it's true
I'm a stray too
