Version 1 of the lyrics

Baby, I've been waiting

Baby, I've been waiting,

I've been waiting night and day

I've been waiting night and day.

I didn't see the time

I didn't see the time,

I waited half my life away

I waited half my life away.

There were lots of invitations

And I know you sent me some

and I know you sent me some,

But I was waiting

but I was waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

I know you really loved me

I know you really loved me.

But, you see, my hands were tied

but, you see, my hands were tied.

I know it must have hurt you

I know it must have hurt you,

It must have hurt your pride

it must have hurt your pride

to have to stand beneath my window

To have to stand beneath my window

with your bugle and your drum,

With your bugle and your drum

and me I'm up there waiting

And me, I'm up there waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah, I don't believe you'd like it

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,

You wouldn't like it here

You wouldn't like it here.

There ain't no entertainment

And the judgments are severe

and the judgements are severe.

The Maestro says it's Mozart

But it sounds like bubble gum

but it sounds like bubble gum

When you're waiting

when you're waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Waiting for the miracle

There's nothing left to do

There's nothing left to do.

I haven't been this happy

Since the end of World War II

since the end of World War II.

Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

when you know that you've been taken.

Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb

when you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting

when you've got to go on waiting

Waiting for the miracle to come

waiting for the miracle to come.

I dreamed about you, baby

I dreamed about you, baby.

It was just the other night

It was just the other night.

Most of you was naked

Ah, but some of you was light

Ah but some of you was light.

The sands of time were falling

From your fingers and your thumb

from your fingers and your thumb,

And you were waiting

and you were waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

for the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married

Ah baby, let's get married,

We've been alone too long

we've been alone too long.

Let's be alone together

Let's be alone together.

Let's see if we're that strong

Let's see if we're that strong.

Yeah let's do something crazy,

Yeah, let's do something crazy

something absolutely wrong

Something absolutely wrong

while we're waiting

While we're waiting

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Nothing left to do

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 you're lying in the rain,

And they ask you how you're doing

and they ask you how you're doing

Of course you'll say you can't complain

of course you'll say you can't complain --

If you're squeezed for information,

If you're squeezed for information

that's when you've got to play it dumb:

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

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
