[length: 07:42]
[00:11.03]Baby, I’ve been waiting
[00:15.35]I’ve been waiting night and day
[00:19.41]
[00:22.74]I didn’t see the time
[00:26.10]I waited half my life away
[00:32.09]
[00:34.39]There were lots of invitations
[00:38.90]And I know you sent me some
[00:43.31]
[00:45.47]But I was waiting
[00:48.77]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[00:56.04]
[01:04.04]I know you really loved me
[01:08.34]But, you see, my hands were tied
[01:15.54]I know it must have hurt you
[01:19.63]It must have hurt your pride
[01:23.67]
[01:26.28]To have to stand beneath my window
[01:31.49]With your bugle and your drum
[01:37.31]And me, I’m up there waiting
[01:40.95]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[01:47.81]
[01:55.90]Ah, I don’t believe you’d like it
[02:00.87]You wouldn’t like it here
[02:04.69]
[02:07.66]There ain’t no entertainment
[02:12.37]And the judgments are severe
[02:19.38]The Maestro says it’s Mozart
[02:23.83]But it sounds like bubble gum
[02:30.00]When you’re waiting
[02:34.23]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[02:41.38]
[02:49.41]Waiting for the miracle
[02:55.03]There’s nothing left to do
[03:00.73]I haven’t been this happy
[03:06.75]Since the end of World War II
[03:11.05]Nothing left to do
[03:13.72]When you know that you’ve been taken
[03:16.97]Nothing left to do
[03:19.79]When you’re begging for a crumb
[03:22.47]Nothing left to do
[03:25.79]When you’ve got to go on waiting
[03:30.77]Waiting for the miracle to come
[03:36.45]
[03:41.46]I dreamed about you, baby
[03:46.19]It was just the other night
[03:50.62]
[03:53.44]Most of you was naked
[03:57.73]Ah, but some of you was light
[04:04.32]The sands of time were falling
[04:09.39]From your fingers and your thumb
[04:13.90]
[04:16.58]And you were waiting
[04:19.45]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[04:27.06]
[04:34.47]Ah baby, let’s get married
[04:38.86]We’ve been alone too long
[04:43.27]
[04:46.04]Let’s be alone together
[04:50.40]Let’s see if we’re that strong
[04:56.86]Yeah, let’s do something crazy
[05:01.91]Something absolutely wrong
[05:06.91]
[05:09.27]While we’re waiting
[05:12.34]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[05:19.65]
[05:26.18]Nothing left to do
[05:28.02]When you know that you’ve been taken
[05:31.14]Nothing left to do
[05:34.33]When you’re begging for a crumb
[05:37.22]Nothing left to do
[05:40.07]When you’ve got to go on waiting
[05:45.36]Waiting for the miracle to come
[05:51.16]
[05:56.85]When you’ve fallen on the highway
[06:00.82]And you’re lying in the rain
[06:05.19]
[06:07.27]And they ask you how you’re doing
[06:12.13]Of course you’ll say you can’t complain
[06:18.70]If you’re squeezed for information
[06:23.83]That’s when you’ve got to play it dumb
[06:29.52]You just say you’re out there waiting
[06:34.67]For the miracle, for the miracle to come
