I Knew You Were Waiting For Me Lyrics


Aretha Franklin I Knew You Were Waiting For Me

I Knew You Were Waiting For Me
------------------------------
(Simon Climie, Dennis Morgan)
# From Aretha '86 / Greatest Hits 1980-1994
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
Somehow I made it through the heartace
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
Knew you were waiting for me
With and 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
I don't regret a single moment
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
It's Only Love
--------------
# From Tina live in Europe / Bryan Adams's "So far so good"
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry - it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - it's only love
And that's all - ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy - but it's only love
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again
When your world is shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - it's only love
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love
Ya - that's all
Ya it ain't easy baby
But it's only love - and that's all
