Baby, Ive been waiting,
Ive been waiting night and day.
I didnt 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 Im up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah I dont believe youd like it,
You wouldnt like it here.
There aint no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says its Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when youre waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle
Theres nothing left to do.
I havent been this happy
since the end of World War II.
Nothing left to do
when you know that youve been taken.
Nothing left to do
when youre begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when youve 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, lets get married,
weve been alone too long.
Lets be alone together.
Lets see if were that strong.
Yeah lets do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do ...
When youve fallen on the highway
and youre lying in the rain,
and they ask you how youre doing
of course youll say you cant complain --
If youre squeezed for information,
thats when youve got to play it dumb:
You just say youre out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
