The Waiting Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now 

Don't it feel like something from a dream 

Hey I've never known nothing quite like this 

Don't it feel like the night might never be again 

Baby we know better than to try and pretend 

Honey, no one could've ever told me about this 

I said yeah yeah 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

The waiting is the hardest part 

Every day you see one more card 

You take it on faith 

You take it to the heart 

The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah you might've chased a couple women around 

Oh all it ever got you is down 

Yeah then there were those that made me feel good 

But never as good as I feel right now 

Baby you're the only one that's ever known how 

To make me want to live like I want to live now 

I said yeah yeah 

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah 

The waiting is the hardest part 

Every day you get one more yard 

You take it on faith 

You take it to the heart 

The waiting is the hardest part

Oh, don't let it kill you babe 

Don't let it get to you 

Don't let it kill you babe 

Don't let it get to you 

I'll be your bleeding heart 

I'll be your crying fool 

Don't let this go too far 

Don't let it get to you 

(guitar break) 

I said yeah yeah 

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah 

The waiting is the hardest part 

Every day you get one more yard 

You take it on faith 

You take it to the heart 

The waiting is the hardest part 

The waiting is the hardest part 

(mandolin break) 

It's the hardest part 

It's the hardest part
