Lyrics

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
Music - Billy Keen
Lyrics - Belinda Brodsky

ALONE IN A FORTRESS OF SORROW AND PAIN
THERE LIVED A MAN WITH A COLD, DARK HEART.
EVER SHACKLED BY FEAR OF THE LIGHT
AND THE WORLD WAS FORBIDDEN INSIDE. 
LIKE A BEACON OF WONDER AND HOPE
WITH A SPIRIT TO QUELL HIS FEARS
CAME A LADY TO OFFER HER HAND
AND THEIR JOURNEY BEGAN.
AND DARE HE TO ASK WHY TILL NOW SHE STOOD GUARD OF HER HEART LIKE A JEWEL
AND SHE SMILED AND REPLIED...
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. 

LONG GONE ARE THE NIGHTS HE AWAKENED ALONE
FOR IN HIS ARMS SHE LAY SOFT AND WARM.
BY A VOW THEY'RE FOREVER ENTWINED
WITH A LOVE THAT GREW SWEETER WITH TIME. 
ALL AT ONCE HE WAS SUMMONED TO WAR
AND RETURNED TO HER TRAMPLED AND TORN
WITH A BURDEN UPON HER TO BEAR
AND HIS LIFE LEFT TO PRAYER.
THERE SHE REMAINED BY HIS SIDE AS EACH SUN ROSE AND FELL
TILL HE OPENED HIS EYES AND SHE CRIED...
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. 

SO NOW JUST AS SURE AS THE SEASONS HAD TURNED...
FOR THEIR LOVE THEY WERE THREE TIMES BLESSED.
ALL THE RICHES OF LIFE TO BEHOLD
AND MORE JOY THAN ONE MAN SHOULD KNOW. 
DAYS BECAME YEARS AND YEARS SLIPPED AWAY
TILL A COLD WINTER MORN SHE PASSED.
NOW THE MAN WITH THE BROKEN HEART CRIES
AND LIVES ONLY TO DIE. 
NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD...
HE PREPARES FOR HIS LADY TO WELCOME HIM HOME
AND SHE SPEAKS TO HIM TRUE...
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
WAITING FOR YOU.
WAITING FOR...
YOU
