Lyrics
Waiting to Be
Hello, hello ma bella, you don't belong in here,
Raising a glass with the ghosts of yesteryear.
This is a private party, I need to be around,
And if you stay I will talk to you for hours.
You wore that dress I like, that old familiar smile,
I really must insist, you should be leaving this.
Hello, hello my beauty, it's been a long, long time.
Let's reminisce over history now sublime.
Strange how your laughter's sadness,
Strange how you seem so changed, faded in to obscurity through pain.
You wore that dress I like, that old familiar smile,
I really must insist, I can't go on like this.
I'm waiting to be by your side once more,
I'm waiting to fly.
I'm waiting to feel your embrace once more,
I'm waiting to be there, I'm waiting to be now.
Something outside disturbs me, I'm torn from the arms of dreams.
A solitude fills the room and I want to sleep, so I can say…
Hello, hello ma bella, so glad you came along,
To rescue me at this party thrown for one.
I'm waiting to be by your side once more,
I'm waiting to fly.
I'm waiting to feel your embrace once more,
I'm waiting to be there.
I'm waiting to be now.
I'm waiting to be.
(Arch Stanton, July 1999)
