I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me) lyrics

by

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
I was crippled emotionally

Mmmm, somehow I made it through the heartache
Yes I did, I escaped, uh-huh
I found my way out of the darkness
Kept my faith
I know you did
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 waitin'
I knew you were waiting for me, uh-huh

With an endless desire I-I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the bridges on fire, the hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

No, I don' regret a single moment
No I don't
I know you don't
Looking back, uhh
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh
I know you do
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, ahh-ah
I knew you were waiting, ahh-ahah
I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny, Ooh boy, Ohh
I know this love we share was meant to be, No-oahh-oh-oh
Knew you were waiting, Woo-Hoo-Ooh-ooh-oooh-wah
Knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
Oh, I didn't falter
I didn't falter, no
I still believe
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
Nothing can stop me, no
No way
Knew you were waiting
No I, knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter
When the mountain was high-gh
I still believe
Oh, when the valley was low
It didn't stop me
Ha, no it didn't stop me, no
Knew you were waiting, stop me
Knew you were, waiting for me, yeah-ah
I didn't falter
Ahhh, Ohhh yeah
I still believe
Oh-oh, I still believe
It didn't stop me
Oh, you know it didn't stop me, no
No-oh
Knew you were waiting
Some day
Some way
Some where
Some how
For me
I didn't falter
When the valley was low
I still believe
I still believe
I believe, I believe
It didn't stop me
An army couldn't stop me
Knew you were waiting
No way
