Artist: Aretha Franklin And George Michael Title: I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) 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 Aretha Franklin and George Michael: So we were drawn together through destiny I know this love we share was meant to be Knew you were waiting, Knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting Knew you were waiting for me I didn't falter, I didn't falter I still believed When the valley was low It didn't stop me I knew you were waiting Knew you were waiting for me I didn't falter...
