I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

(Aretha)

Like a warrior that fights

And wins the battle

I know the taste of victory



Though I went through some nights

Consumed by the shadows

And was crippled emotionally



(George)

Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did

I escaped

I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith

Kept my faith



(Chorus)

And the river was deep I didn't falter

When the mountain was high

I still believed

When the valley was low

It didn't stop me

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me



(Aretha)

With an endless desire

I kept on searching

Sure in time our eyes would meet



And like the bridge is on fire

The hurt is over

One touch and you set me free



(George)

I don't regret a single moment, no I don't

Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments

I just laugh, I just laugh



(Chorus)



So we were drawn together through destiny

I know this love we share was meant to be



I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me



(Chorus)
