Baby, I've been waiting
I've been waiting night and day
ย
I didn't see the time
I waited half my life away
ย
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
ย
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
ย
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
ย
Ah, I don't believe you'd like it
You wouldn't like it here
ย
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgments are severe
ย
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
ย
Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do
ย
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
ย
I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
ย
Most of you was naked
Ah, but some of you was light
ย
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb
And you were waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
ย
Ah baby, let's get married
We've been alone too long
ย
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
ย
Yeah, let's do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
