Patience my sunshine
Do not come through the front
Do not knock or make a sound
For the time is not right
My sunshine the time is not now
For what will my father and mother think?
I tremble at the thought...

Patience my sunshine
Do not come until all are asleep
Do not speak above my whisper
For the time is not right
For I am afraid of my brother
My sunshine the time is not now
For what will my brother think?
I tremble at the thought...

Patience my sunshine
Do not flirt with my fingers
Do not tempt me with a kiss
For the time is not right
For I am afraid of the communities
My sunshine the time is not now
For what will the communities think?
I tremble at the thought...
