Baby, iand've been waiting,
iand've been waiting night and day.
i didnand'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 iand'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah i donand't believe youand'd like it,
you wouldnand't like it here.
there ainand't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
the maestro says itand's mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when youand're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle
thereand's nothing left to do.
i havenand't been this happy
since the end of world war ii.
Nothing left to do
when you know that youand've been taken.
nothing left to do
when youand're begging for a crumb
nothing left to do
when youand'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, letand's get married,
weand've been alone too long.
letand's be alone together.
letand's see if weand're that strong.
yeah letand's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while weand're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do ...
When youand've fallen on the highway
and youand're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how youand're doing
of course youand'll say you canand't complain --
if youand're squeezed for information,
thatand's when youand've got to play it dumb:
you just say youand're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
