Phil Collins - Why Can't It Wait 'Till Morning Lyrics






Why can't it wait 'til morning?
We can talk about it then
'Cos I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any

Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me

So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice

Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep

So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cos that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me

So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice for you

Phil Collins Why Can't It Wait 'Till Morning Comments
  1. c.... f....

    You couldn’t write these lyrics without living them. That’s what makes this genius of a man so special. He only came too my attention when he brought out he’s first solo album face value. I was a fifteen year old skinhead. 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

  2. W.... I....

    Verry unbelievable song...
    Over 30 years and still cozzy in my ears....

  3. C.... J....

    This would have been appropriate in July

  4. a.... ....

    Sad and magical at the same time

  5. k.... j....

    My absolute favourite.....a beautiful song never forgot you alan xx

  6. 6.... ....

    the version of this song with Fourplay is awesome 👍🏻

  7. P.... J....

    Yes Face Value is excellent.Hello I Must Be Going continues with that personal and emotional theme and equally as good if not better than FV.

  8. E.... C....

    It is 1.15 in the morning Perth time.. I am listening to this song again and again 😭

  9. A.... A....

    Maior cantor pop de todos os tempos espetacular Phil Collins!

  10. T.... W....

    Best one on that album by a mile.

  11. G.... ....

    This song is so dear to me. My husband and I loved it back in the day. Many a fight back then-we were horribly immature but this seemed to make it all better. Simpler time

  12. D.... H....

    I love this song

  13. D.... D....

    love him

  14. P.... P....

    When I was thirteen, I had a boyfriend that would play this whenever I was upset. It would always bring me back to the fact that those things didn't matter. He ended up killing himself when I was sixteen and this song always makes me feel him again.

  15. Z.... ....

    I listen to this song when I'm out on the lake and get tears of it especially in a special time with the chords. It is also played in my favorite keys that makes me extra affected. <3

    Thanks Mr Collins, you make my days in Sweden fantastic.

  16. G.... l....

    One of his best ever , still reduces me to tears every time I hear it

  17. b.... ....

    If ever there was a counter to the old adage - 'Never sleep on an argument', this is it. What a song!!

  18. L.... R....

    Why can't it wait 'til morning?
    We can talk about it then
    'Cause I've had a drink too many
    And my troubles, well I ain't got any
    Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
    Things will seem much clearer then
    I'm tired and my eyes are weary
    And I just want you lying here with me
    So close your eyes
    I'll make it oh, so nice
    Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
    And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
    'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
    It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
    So why can't it wait 'til next time?
    'Cause that time may never come
    Stay here with your arms around me
    You're going nowhere without me
    So close your eyes
    I'll make it oh, so nice for you

  35. P.... P....

    Why can't it wait 'til morning?

    Oh crap i guess i do look like him from the side?

  39. D.... M....

    Great stuff from phil but I think that you have to go through a divorce to appreciate the songs sad though that might be

  40. A.... N....

    dammnn this song, I couldn't find it except today hahaha

  41. S.... K....

    Absolutely brilliant song. Saw Phil last night at the Liverpool Echo Arena and the man brought tears to my eyes he is that good.

    S.... K....

    Sean Kirk

    Ditto Sean, I was there as well,I've been into genesis since I was about 12! I was always into early Collins so to see him for the 1st time was brilliant.He brought happy/sad tears to my eyes!

  42. M.... B....

    It's a good song sent to me by a man who says he loves then ask me to send him money he's suppose to be working in NIGERIA,what a crock

  43. N.... W....

    such a sad song! :(

  46. M.... O....

    Love this song/Album. Thank you Phil!!

  47. M.... R....

    great song lyrics it is so true that people can't wait till morning

  48. p.... ....

    i feel this album is very underrated.. PC has so many stellar songs and albums, but this one seems very much pure and from the heart to me..

    p.... ....

    yeah don't forget about the Genesis Tracks too. his voice is untouchable

    p.... ....

    True dat, probably my favorite of his. Great variety as well, it has everything from dark moody songs, to sweet ones like this, uptempo R&B stuff, and even a jazz instrumental. Gotta love master Phil

    p.... ....

    I just can't agree more.

  49. p.... l....

    I was born in 1960 and feel so blessed for this.  The wonderful eras of music which I have experienced have truly made me who I am today.  Music is everything.  It says what you can't, it feels what you feel.  It is loud when you can't be, it brings needed tears. "I Don't Care Anymore" says it all during the much needed times.    Phil Collins is the sound track to my life, both with and without Genesis.  I have been to several concerts spanning from the late 70's to the 80's.   His voice is beautiful.  Thank you, thank you.

    p.... l....

    patty leith what can anyone say to your post nothing beautiful

    p.... l....

    Patty leith , you are my angel,you said 'what I have Always Felt!!

    p.... l....

    He is the soundtrack to my live. I have seen him solo once and he left this one out. not sure why. but whoever advised him must not have understood what he is all about

    p.... l....

    Mr Collins and his music was so fantastic during the 70s and 80s. I first heard his voice in 1978 from seconds out doing the carpet crawl and to me he was the voice of God at the time. His music both solo and especially with Genesis was indeed the soundtrack to my early years. It helped me through some lows and made me feel great. A wonderfully gifted person for sure

    p.... l....

    Ladies from sixties... Golden Music Ages

  50. p.... v....

    i danced this song last night. So sweet.

  51. G.... C....

    WONDERFUL !!!

  52. M.... M....

    sooooooo nice!

  53. B.... M....

    Fabulous ...

  54. A.... I....

    Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
    And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
    'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me
    It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep

    So why can't it wait 'til next time?
    'Cos that time may never come
    Stay here with your arms around me
    You're going nowhere without me

    So close your eyes
    I'll make it oh, so nice for you

  55. K.... H....

    Could listen to this over and over......

    K.... H....

    Me to cause it´s so Beautiful and sad. :´-)

  56. J.... S....

    Reminds me of my wife, I don't talk much, but she is a talker, especially when am just about to sleep. When I want to sleep that's when she wants to tell me everything, I try to hint at her that am sleepy, that I just want to fall asleep quietly and sleep, and wait for tomorrow, but she won't let me...just wanna sleep, tomorrow won't be long. Phil just wants to sleep and forget about everything, I understand what he was going through here...just wanna rest.

  57. l.... ....

    No jacket required, hello I must be going, Face value,...just brilliant. Thank you mr Collins!

  58. B.... ....

    Perfect make-up song. Play this to your loved one and best of luck....

  59. Q.... A....

    Gorgeous song, but can be used as a track in a movie about killing a wife by suffocation in bed.

    Q.... A....

  88. w.... ....

    who said that his music is talentless ?!?!?!? i will personally kill these music "experts" ! phil collins is a genius indeed ! as a singer, drummer, composer , everything !!!!!!! he wrote soooo many classics, he sold out stadiums and arenas ! it's sad to see him retiring :(

    nope 1982, just got out of basic training and listened to this cd over and over on my way home to get married- only one I had- became a favorite of mine and 30 yrs and a divorce later still is a great song!!

  95. 2.... ....

    'Things will seem so much clearer then'. And they did. If only for a short while. Poignant song.

  96. b.... ....

    I just LOVE this song...my husband sang this to me..... avoided so many conflicts.. Ah, the wisdom of Phil.........and how sweet to wake up enveloped in the arms of your beloved.....
