[00:12]Baby, I've been waiting,
[00:15]I've been waiting night and day.
[00:23]I didn't see the time,
[00:27]I waited half my life away.
[00:35]There were lots of invitations
[00:39]and I know you sent me some,
[00:46]but I was waiting
[00:49]for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
[00:54]
[01:03]I know you really loved me.
[01:08]but, you see, my hands were tied.
[01:15]I know it must have hurt you,
[01:20]it must have hurt your pride
[01:27]to have to stand beneath my window
[01:31]with your bugle and your drum,
[01:37]and me I'm up there waiting
[01:42]for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
[01:47]
[01:56]Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
[02:02]You wouldn't like it here.
[02:08]There ain't no entertainment
[02:12]and the judgements are severe.
[02:19]The Maestro says it's Mozart
[02:25]but it sounds like bubble gum
[02:31]when you're waiting
[02:35]for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
[02:40]
[02:48]Waiting for the miracle
[02:55]There's nothing left to do.
[03:02]I haven't been this happy
[03:06]since the end of World War II.
[03:10]
[03:12]Nothing left to do
[03:14]when you know that you've been taken.
[03:17]Nothing left to do
[03:20]when you're begging for a crumb
[03:23]Nothing left to do
[03:26]when you've got to go on waiting
[03:30]waiting for the miracle to come.
[03:35]
[03:42]I dreamed about you, baby.
[03:46]It was just the other night.
[03:54]Most of you was naked
[03:57]Ah but some of you was light.
[04:05]The sands of time were falling
[04:09]from your fingers and your thumb,
[04:16]and you were waiting
[04:20]for the miracle, for the miracle to come
[04:25]
[04:34]Ah baby, let's get married,
[04:39]we've been alone too long.
[04:46]Let's be alone together.
[04:50]Let's see if we're that strong.
[04:58]Yeah let's do something crazy,
[05:02]something absolutely wrong
[05:09]while we're waiting
[05:11]for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
[05:17]
[05:26]Nothing left to do
[05:29]when you know that you've been taken.
[05:32]Nothing left to do
[05:35]when you're begging for a crumb
[05:38]Nothing left to do
[05:40]when you've got to go on waiting
[05:45]waiting for the miracle to come.
[05:49]
[05:57]When you've fallen on the highway
[06:01]and you're lying in the rain,
[06:08]and they ask you how you're doing
[06:12]of course you'll say you can't complain --
[06:20]If you're squeezed for information,
[06:24]that's when you've got to play it dumb:
[06:30]You just say you're out there waiting
[06:34]for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
