Baby, I've been waiting, |
|
I've been waiting night and day. |
|
I didn't see the time, |
|
I waited half my life away. |
|
There were lots of invitations |
|
and I know you sent me some, |
|
but I was waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. |
|
I know you really loved me. |
|
but, you see, my hands were tied. |
|
I know it must have hurt you, |
|
it must have hurt your pride |
|
to have to stand beneath my window |
|
with your bugle and your drum, |
|
and me I'm up there waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. |
|
Ah I don't believe you'd like it, |
|
You wouldn't like it here. |
|
There ain't no entertainment |
|
and the judgements are severe. |
|
The Maestro says it's Mozart |
|
but it sounds like bubble gum |
|
when you're waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. |
|
Waiting for the miracle |
|
There's nothing left to do. |
|
I haven't been this happy |
|
since the end of World War II. |
|
Nothing left to do |
|
when you know that you've been taken. |
|
Nothing left to do |
|
when you're begging for a crumb |
|
Nothing left to do |
|
when you've got to go on waiting |
|
waiting for the miracle to come. |
|
I dreamed about you, baby. |
|
It was just the other night. |
|
Most of you was naked |
|
Ah but some of you was light. |
|
The sands of time were falling |
|
from your fingers and your thumb, |
|
and you were waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come |
|
Ah baby, let's get married, |
|
we've been alone too long. |
|
Let's be alone together. |
|
Let's see if we're that strong. |
|
Yeah let's do something crazy, |
|
something absolutely wrong |
|
while we're waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. |
|
Nothing left to do ... |
|
When you've fallen on the highway |
|
and you're lying in the rain, |
|
and they ask you how you're doing |
|
of course you'll say you can't complain -- |
|
If you're squeezed for information, |
|
that's when you've got to play it dumb: |
|
You just say you're out there waiting |
|
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. |
