Waiting for the Miracle

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 judgments 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 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
 ♪
 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
