I've Been Waiting
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 I've been waiting 
I've been waiting, for tonight 
I've been waiting, 
I've been waiting, for Time, to be Right 
 I've been dreaming, 
I've been dreaming, for tonight 
I've been dreaming, 
I've been dreaming, (This Dream), every night. 
Now my Wait is Over, 
My Dream has come True 
That Time is the present 
And I'm here, with You 
What words can express,  
what a Glance could not do, 
how lovely it is, to look, 
and see You. 
Talking to me, and interested, too 
As I am, for you, and how you, became You 
This moment tonight, it is captured in Time 
At least, for the Present, your attention is Mine. 
Now, what should One do, at moments like these..? 
Should we Follow, the Dream,  should we Flow, feel at ease, 
Should we Beware, of what could go Wrong,…? 
Or Dance to the Music and then, sing along 
Well, You're only Here Once, or so I am told, 
So no Reason why, we should stay in the Cold 
It's Easy, you see, when Truth, it is Out 
When Spirits Arrive, then "Greetings", we shout. 
The "waiting", now over, our Time has arrived 
The Wisdom of Experience, never denied 
The Journey continues, within, and without 
The company of Friends, a shelter, no doubt. 
I've been dreaming, 
I've been dreaming, for tonight 
I've been dreaming, 
I've been dreaming, This Dream, every night.
