George Michael, Aretha Franklin - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

από το άλμπουμ της Aretha Franklin, Aretha (1987)

O George Michael,καθαρά επειδή ήθελε διακαώς να ηχογραφήσει κάτι με την αγαπημένη του γυναικεία φωνή, έπεισε τη Βασίλισσα της Soul να κάνουν αυτό το ντουέτο στα πλαίσια δικού της δίσκου, φτάνοντας σε μια τεράστια επιτυχία (νούμερο 1 σε Η.Π.Α., Βρετανία και Αυστραλία) και σε ένα ντουέτο που ακόμα διατηρεί κάτι από τον ενθουσιασμό της ηχογράφησής του.

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

Somehow I made it through the heartace, yes I did

I escaped

I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith

Kept my faith

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, no no

I knew you were waiting

Knew you were waiting for me, uh uh

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

No, I don't regret a single moment, no, I don't

I know you don't, looking back

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

I knew you were waiting

I 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)

(I knew you were waiting)

I knew you were waiting, (I knew you were waiting for me)

I even thought that love

(I still believe) when the valley was low

(It didn't stop me) nothing can stop me now

(Knew you were waiting, know I knew you were waiting for me)

when the mountain was high

(I still believe) oh, when the valley was low

(It didn't stop me) no, it didn't stop me

(Knew you were waiting for me, knew you were waiting for me)

oh yeah

(I still believe) oh, I still believe

(It didn't stop me) do you know it didn't stop me, now?

(Knew you were waiting) somewhere, some way, some place, somehow

For me

when the valley was low

(I still believe) I still believe

(I believe, I believe, I believe) it didn't stop me now (oh, it couldn't stop me now)
