I Knew You Were Waiting

I Knew You Were Waiting
Aretha Franklin & George Michael
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally

Mmm, somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes I did, I escaped
I found the way out of the darkness
I kept my faith, kept my faith
When the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no, no
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
For that endless delight I, I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire, the hurts is over
One touch and you set me free
No I don't regret a single moment, no I don't, looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
When the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me, oh
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny, ooh boy
I know this love we shared was meant to be, oh
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me

I didn't falter
I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter
I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter
I still believed
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, somewhere, some place, somehow, for me
