[Verse 1]
William, where you been?
I've been waiting on you since only God knows when
William, come on in
There's so much to do, so glad to see you again

[Chorus 1]
I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious
I haven't been sad, for the reason in the rhyme
I haven't been cryin', that's somethin' that don't happen
I believed you'd make it here in your sweet time

[Verse 2]
William, I have so much to say
I started us a garden when I got here that June day
William, c'mon this way
Meet our little boy that died on his birthday

[Chorus 2]
We haven't been worried so much as we've been anxious
We haven't been sad, for the reason in the rhyme
We haven't been cryin', that's something that don't happen
I told em' you'd be up here some sweet time

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Wanda, quit pickin' at me
I've been running late since 1953
Wanda, slow down, just be
Hold my hand while I rock this boy to sleep

[Chorus 3]
I haven't been worried so much as I've been anxious
I've been sad but there's reason in the rhyme
And I've done a lot of crying, that's something just happens
I just hoped I'd make it up here some sweet time
