Aretha Franklin - I Knew You Were Waiting For Me lyrics

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

Somehow I made it through the heartache

Yes I did, I escaped

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 iIt didn't stop me, no no

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me

With and endless desire I kept on searching

Sure in time our eyes would meet

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 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 iIt didn't stop me, no no

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, knew you were waiting

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