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



Chorus:

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



Chorus:

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



Chorus:

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
