Three o'clock in the afternoon
The ice has melted in my tea
But it still tastes just as sweet
Cause I know I get to see you soon
Another day of sun and shine
I let the laundry dry on the line
Picking stragglers from the sheets
Sneaking glances at the sky
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
For your plane
Oooooo
Four o'clock rolls around
I try to keep myself busy
Trimming the azaleas
And pulling bluegrass from the ground
I hear the buzz of a bumble bee
I hear the call of a morning dove
But I keep my ear to the sky
Listening for your song
And I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
For your plane
Ooooooo
The river moves so slowly now
Since you flew away
A lonesome bird in a heavy sky
It's just a matter of time
Time
Time
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
For your plane
Oooooo
