I Knew You Were Waiting Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

[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 

And was crippled emotionally 

[George Michael:] 

Somehow I made it through the heartace 

I escaped 

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

Kept my faith

[Aretha Franklin and George Michael:] 

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 

I knew you were waiting 

Knew you were waiting for me 

[Aretha Franklin:] 

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

[George Michael:] 

I don't regret a single moment 

Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments 

I just laugh, I just laugh 

[Aretha Franklin and George Michael:] 

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 

I knew you were waiting 

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
