Bidin' My Time
Biding Moments: Embracing Patience and Hope in Johnny Hartman's Melody
Lyrics
But I'm bidin' my time,
Expressing patience and waiting for the right moment.
Cause that's the kind of guy I'm,
Identifying as a patient and laid-back individual.
While other folks grow dizzy,
Observing others getting restless or impatient.
I keep busy,
Staying occupied and engaged while waiting.
Bidin' my time.
Continuing to bid one's time with patience.
Next year, next year,
Anticipating positive events in the coming year.
Somethin's bound to happen,
Believing that something good will happen soon.
This year, this year,
Emphasizing the present moment for planning and waiting.
I'll just keep on mappin',
Persisting in patience and planning in the current year.
And bidin' my time,
Continuing to bid time, characteristic of the person.
"Cause that's the kind of guy I'm,
Reiterating the patient nature of the individual.
There's no regrettin',
No regrets associated with patiently waiting.
When I'm settin',
Being content and settled while waiting.
Bidin' my time.
Persisting in bidding time without remorse.
I'm bidin' my time,
Emphasizing the ongoing patience and waiting.
"Cause that's the kind of guy I'm,
Reaffirming the patient nature of the person.
Beginnin' on a Monday,
Starting the waiting process at the beginning of the week.
Right through Sunday,
Continuing to wait through the entire week.
Bidin' my time.
Persisting in bidding time throughout the week.
Give me, give me,
Expressing a desire for a vibrant and sparkling future.
Glass that's bright and twinkles,
Asking for a glass that represents optimism and brightness.
Let me, let me,
Expressing a wish to dream freely and vividly.
Dream like Rip Van Winkle.
Referring to Rip Van Winkle, a character known for long sleep.
He's bided his time,
Comparing oneself to Rip Van Winkle, who patiently waited.
Like that Winkle guy,
Recalling the patience exhibited by Rip Van Winkle.
I'm chasin' 'way flies,
Engaging in mundane activities while waiting patiently.
How the day flies,
Reflecting on the passage of time and how it flies.
Bidin' my time.
Continuing to bid time with persistence and patience.
