I've Been Waiting

By Phillip Hennessy 

 

I've been waiting
I've been waiting, for tonight
I've been waiting,
I've been waiting, for Time, to be Right

I've been dreaming,
I've been dreaming, for tonight
I've been dreaming,
I've been dreaming, (This Dream), every night.

Now my Wait is Over,
My Dream has come True
That Time is the present
And I'm here, with You

What words can express,
what a Glance could not do,
how lovely it is, to look,
and see You.

Talking to me, and interested, too
As I am, for you, and how you, became You
This moment tonight, it is captured in Time
At least, for the Present, your attention is Mine.

Now, what should One do, at moments like these..?
Should we Follow, the Dream, should we Flow, feel at ease,
Should we Beware, of what could go Wrong,…?
Or Dance to the Music and then, sing along

Well, You're only Here Once, or so I am told,
So no Reason why, we should stay in the Cold
It's Easy, you see, when Truth, it is Out
When Spirits Arrive, then "Greetings", we shout.

The "waiting", now over, our Time has arrived
The Wisdom of Experience, never denied
The Journey continues, within, and without
The company of Friends, a shelter, no doubt.

I've been dreaming,
I've been dreaming, for tonight
I've been dreaming,
I've been dreaming, This Dream, every night.
