Píseň: I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

Interpret:
Aretha Franklin
Album:
Aretha
Aretha Franklin:
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 
And was crippled emotionally 


George Michael:
Somehow I made it through the heartace 
I escaped 
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith 
Kept my faith 


Both:
And 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 
I knew you were waiting 
Knew you were waiting for me 


Aretha Franklin:
With and endless desire 
I kept on searching 
Sure in time our eyes would meet 
And like the bridge is on fire 
The hurt is over 
One touch and you set me free 


George Michael:
I don't regret a single moment 
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments 
I just laugh, I just laugh 


Both:
And 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 
I knew you were waiting 
Knew you were waiting for me


So we were drawn together through destiny 
I know this love we share was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me
