And then, the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day, remember how I love you so
In your heart, believe what in my heart I know
That forever more, I'll wait for you

Everytime i hear Liza singing i got goosebump. For real, i mean, i can see my skin react. It's a very strange thing to observe. I don't know how to explain it, it's a physiological reaction. It sometimes suceeds with her mother Judy, and sometimes with classical soprano Natalie Dessay. But only a few times. With Liza, I got goosebump and i feel something strange in my guts any time I hear her singing. Other singers that I also like don't have this effect on me!

Que voz, que interpretação! Fantástica. Tbém gosto da versão da Connie Francis, mas esta é melhor em minha opinião.
@marioarena2001
Maravilloso, la fuerza que pone hace para mi la mejor versión.
@owlpokenfold
Wow, I didn't know there were so many versions of this song, that so many people have performed it. I do like Mrs Minelli's take on it, the archetypal build of the melody can definitely take her free approach.
@yscslim
what an incredible voice and emotion. Never will be such an individual artist like her...I feel sad for the society...this music is so sincere and I think life should like it.

Maravillosa cancion , CANTADA por muchisimos cantantes talentosos. QUE ES LO QUE HACE QUE EN LA VOZ DE LIZA SUENE TAN SENTIDA Y REAL ??? a mi modo de pensar es porque ELLA NO SOLO LA CANTA , SINO QUE LA ACTUA . TREMENDO TALENTO EL DE EST MUCHACHA LIZA !!!!

Liza in another classic performance, "I Will Wait For You" was always a moving experience to see live at 70's Liza concerts which were always awesome events! Bravo Liza!!!

One of the most beautiful, haunting songs ever composed - from my favorite film "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"!!! And sung by the magnificent Liza!!!
