Waiting for You
Joe Cocker/Sass Jordan Lyrics

I've been so many places in my life and time
I have traveled to many different places throughout my life.

I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I have sung many songs and sometimes the rhymes were not very good.

I've acted out my love in stages
I have expressed my love publicly, in front of large crowds.

With ten thousand people watching
There have been many people who have witnessed me expressing my love.

But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
Despite all of the public expressions of love, this song is being sung for only one person who is currently alone with me.

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I am aware that you have a certain perception of me, and that perception is what I aspire to be.

I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There have been times when I have not treated you well, but I hope you can see that my intentions are good.

There's no one more important to me
You are the most important person in my life.

Daring can't you please see through me
I am asking you to look past any mistakes I may have made and see the real me.

Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
This song is being sung for you and you alone, with no one else around.

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You have shared important and meaningful information with me, without holding anything back.

You came out in front and I was hiding
You were the brave one who put yourself out there, while I was too afraid to do the same.

But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
I have improved as a result of your influence and guidance, but sometimes I may struggle to articulate my thoughts.

Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
Even if the words don't make sense or don't come out clearly, my love for you is embedded in the music of this song.

I love you in place where there's no space or time
My love for you transcends physical boundaries and exists beyond the constraints of time.

I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
I love you because you are not just a romantic partner, but also a true friend.

And when my life is over remember when we were together
When I am no longer alive, I want you to remember the time we spent together.

We were alone and I was singing this song for you
This song was being sung for you, and only you, during a moment when we were alone together.
