Worth The Wait is classic Americana folk music at its best. With it's warmth, pretty melody and gorgeous harmonies, Mike Breen gives a wonderful message of hope, optimism and beauty, in giving love and ourselves time and patience. It's a wonderful message considering the fast paced world we're living in, where instant gratification and impatience seems to dominate our culture. Breen reminds us of the importance of vulnerability, and gives us a little old fashioned romance -- in bringing forward the idea of fate. Love is fate. And love is certainly worth the wait. This is for the Lyle Lovett, Neil Young or Lucinda Williams fan. It's Americana folk, infused with country charm. - Ama Cruz
Worth The Wait (Breen/Cioffi) (c.2004)
The girl she was enamored
and she couldn’t help but fall
despite her reservations and doubts about it all
She liked to live alone
She’d resigned herself to fate
and she built a wall around her so her heart could never break
She almost didn’t notice
it was such a subtle change
when looking in the mirror she’d smile and say his name
CHORUS
And she heard it said
“Good things are worth the wait”
She realized when love arrived that
it was so much better late
The boy he knew it sooner
he just couldn’t let it show
He could feel the wall around her
there was so much he didn’t know
but it really didn’t matter
he had time enough to spare
he knew the wall would crumble and he’d be standing there
CHORUS
And she heard it said
“Good things are worth the wait”
She realized when love arrived that
it was so much better late
Once it was so easy to pretend they didn’t care
Now they can’t remember when the feeling’ wasn’t there
CHORUS
And they heard it said
“Good things are worth the wait”
They realized when love arrived that
it was so much better
it was so much better
it was so much better late
it was worth the wait
It was worth the wait
The girl she was enamored

It was worth the wait
