Franklin, Aretha - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) Lyrics
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
And was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did
I escaped (ahaha)
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith
When 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, no no
Knew you were waiting for me, uh huh
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
No, I don't regret a single moment, no I don't
(I know you don't) Looking back
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
When 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 (oh)
I knew you were waiting (hey)
Knew you were waiting for me
So we were drawn together through destiny
Ooh, boy (ooh)
I know this love we share was meant to be (oh)
Knew you were waiting (Ooh, yeah)
Knew you were waiting (I knew you were waiting)
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (I didn't falter, no)
I still believed (When the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (Nothing can stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting (No I)
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (When the mountain was high)
I still believed (Oh, when the valley was low)
It didn't stop me (No, it didn't stop me, no)
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
I didn't falter (Oh, oh yeah)
I still believed (I still believed)
It didn't stop me (You know it couldn't stop me now)
Knew you were waiting
Someday (Someday), somehow (somehow)
For me
I didn't falter (When the valley was low)
I still believed (I still believed)
He didn't stop me (No, he didn't stop me, no)
No way

Şeytan! Ein Geheimnis bezüglich Dir und Allah! Du könntest ohne Allah die Ewigkeit aushalten! Allah aber ohne Dich nicht! Er ist auf deine Anwesenheit voll und ganz angewiesen! Allah braucht Dich um zu überleben! Das solltest Du Ruhig Wissen!
That was the reception entry song for my marriage. Lyrics ment so much to us.Hope both singing in Heaven
SUCH an eighties song! 😆
Both are unforgetable, for ever in my soul.
Beautyful. George. Michael. Anda. Aretha. Die. Un. Peace
2020 ,one year further away from the magical 1980s.
Hot 🔥 Rip George Michael 💔😢
Listening in 2020
George Michael is the Melania Trump for MAGA. Rest in peace george. MAGA is fired up for America.
I knew you were waiting for tea
Ladies and gentleman , Aretha Franklin and George Michael .
WhO'S liSteNInG 2 THiS NoW!?
Who's loving this song in 2020? ☺
Yes popped in my head this morning
Pat McGahon I do
Me! ❤️🌈
Same here also.
It's hard to believe that they both are gone .
Love this classic sing-along song! When a pianist & a guitarist write a song together, you can sometimes tell who did which part.
Na risata
Non so bene come fare, ha haaa ha. Famese ma risata
Tutto bene, anzi strabene. Grazie mille
Ma che casino!!!
Que en paz descansen, como los extrañamos GENIOS TOTALES
Le loro voce erano leggenda riposate in pace
This Song Gives Me #Life!!!😍
RIH Legends🎙
Don't you feel BLESSED BY GOD that YOU were born during the era that produce music and artists like these? Including the two in the view clip MARVIN AND TAMMY!
I'm waiting for Jehovah god and Jesus Christ
Back when music was good!!2 of the best of all time!!!!
Best duet song in history!
Another one of my favorites 💗
And now this song became a reality. He was waiting for our Queen of soul, and now they are forever together again. And now Michael’s sister joined them both on Christmas Day, 2019. RIP Melanie. You made it home to your brother. <3🌹
Love this song !!
Best duet period
Hymn of the wonderful decade 80's!

RIH George and Aretha. Listening on December 25, 2019
Big,big tune I knew you were waiting for me.
I listen George’s songs every Christmas. It’s like magic for me
I miss George!!!! Three years ago today😔 What a set of lungs on that beautiful man❤️
At 49 years old I appreciate this so much more now. This is no longer present in today's music.
RIP George Michael. Anniversary today.
RIP legends
No comment's good enough....,
I still love this
They sang this song beautifully .... Freddie Mercury would have done a great job too I can almost hear it .. he wanted to sing with Aretha , he loved her even joked he was jealous when George Michael got to sing with her and said again jokingly he could have done better . ... he could have been right 😊
هههههه سودة
Love this song. Two awsome voices . Great song
This is one of the greatest songs EVER!!
👑👑 they would have been a beautiful couple.
The day that God handed out talent George Michael showed up early.
Now u get trash played.. that was called music
On a George Michael binge right now
Girl same I started with last chrismtas to get the feels ready to pour out🥺😭💔
First time I heard this song it reminded me of "Ain't no mountain high"
(Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you)
They probably got the inspiration from marvin gaye which is still awesome. A truly amazing musician, just like Aretha and George :)
Thank you❤✌🏿✊🏾🙏🏾
Can't believe these two beautiful people are gone.
such beautiful talent in the heavens, God is sitting there will a smile on his face tapping his foot
When Aretha rears her head, and soulfully roars, watch out now.
What a powerful voice Aretha Franklin
Simply put one of the best Duets EVER!!!
Sam smith resembles him
We have two wonderful Legend on the same stage George Michael and a Rita Franklin you had a beautiful song together people enjoy listening to always remember two wonderful people and I always will listen to Rita Franklin George Michael
Rest in peace for the both
🙏🙏🙏🙏😤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
