We've Been Waiting For You...

I was reading Fiddledeedee's blog today and after commenting on this post , I thought I'd post my favourite 'Sad Song'.

I first heard it at a get together for some people who had just experienced a tragedy, two women sang it and harmonized so beautifully...
At that time, I had just recently found out I was carrying our baby boy, after almost 2 years of trying to concieve. I was a mess when I heard this song...it speaks to every mothers heart...

You really should hear it HERE. You can click on the song title and hear it... and you can also read all the lyrics to her other songs... they are amazing and stir your emotions.


We've Been Waiting For You
words and music by 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.
