Carly Simon Anticipation song lyrics

We can never know about the days to come

but we think about them anyway.

And I wonder if I'm really with you now

or just chasing after some finer day

Anticipation, anticipation

is making me late

is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you

and how right your arms feel around me.

But I rehearsed those words just late last night

when I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, Anticipation

is making me late

is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together

I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways.

So I'll try and see into your eyes right now

and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.
