Baby, I've been waiting, 
I've been waiting night and day 
I didn'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 I'm up there waiting 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 

Ah I don't believe you'd like it, 
You wouldn't like it here 
There ain't no entertainment 
And the judgments are severe 
The Maestro says it's Mozart 
But it sounds like bubble gum 
When you're waiting 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 

Waiting for the miracle 
There's nothing left to do 
I haven't been this happy 
Since the end of World War II 

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 

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, let's get married
We've been alone too long 
Let's be alone together 
Let's see if we're that strong 
Yeah let's do something crazy, 
Something absolutely wrong 
While we're waiting 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 

Nothing left to do 

When you've fallen on the highway 
And you're lying in the rain, 
And they ask you how you're doing 
Of course you'll say you can't complain 
If you're squeezed for information, 
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
