We've Been Waiting For You

Carolyn Arends


Let me hold you close, I know you're frightened 
Go ahead and cry, I understand 
You were safe and you were warm 
And then suddenly without a warning 
Things began to change 
It must have seemed so strange 

To all at once be traveling a journey 
All the way to this delivery room 
But baby you are not alone 
Your room is ready, let's go home 
You're gonna like it here 
Let me make it clear that 

We've been waiting for you 
We're so glad you came 
We've been looking forward 
To showing you the place 
There's so much in store and 
We've been waiting for you 

I know it can take some getting used to 
But this old world is where you're meant to be 
Life is something not to miss 
The taste of ice cream, your first kiss 
And when love takes your hand 
You will understand why 

We've been waiting for you 
We're so glad you came 
We've been looking forward 
To showing you the place 
There's so much in store and 
We've been waiting for you 

And watching you come into this world 
Baby, you've made me believe 
Another journey awaits us 
So when I have to leave 

I am pretty sure that I'll be frightened 
But even if I cry, please understand 
I will know I'm not alone 
When my room is ready I'll go home 
And when I reach the gate 
I'm going to hear them saying 

We've been waiting for you 
We're so glad you came 
We've been looking forward 
To showing you the place 
There's so much in store and 
We've been waiting for you
