Uriah Heep - Won't Have To Wait Too Long Lyrics

It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning
I open my eyes after the Friday night -
I don't worry about the rain upon my window
'Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine
So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro
I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind -
And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro
There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time
In this golden -place, there's a smiling face
I've got to find
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine

My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows
Or searching for the gold beneath the sea -
But rainbows only shine when it's been raining
And gold can never keep you company -
So now I'm wondrin' what to say in conversation
To the lady of my dreams that I should meet -
If I speak to her in the language of all nations
Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet -
And I know she will, then I'll love her till
The end of time -
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine

Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro
I've got a woman here that I can call my own -
But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there
'Cos she used to live next door to me back home -
But if you're thinking that I've settled down forever
I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake -
'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado
There's a woman there I've got to try and make -
She can fill the hole in my heart and soul
For a long, long time -
And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
