It was my birthday Daddy please
Don't forget what you promised me
Up all night for heaven sake
Laid in bed there wide awake
Fingers crossed prayed amen
Every kid wants man's best friend
I dosed off for a trace
Woke up with a puppy licking my face
I was waiting
I was waiting, waiting, waiting all my life for you
I was waiting, waiting, waiting for this day to come true
I was waiting
Teenager going nowhere fast
Thinking how long can this drought last?
Down on my luck spinning my wheels
Will I ever get to know how true love really feel?
Looking for an answer wishing on a star
How close near or far
Never saw it coming hit me so hard
Happened so fast caught me off guard
I was waiting
I was waiting, waiting, waiting all my life for you
I was waiting, waiting, waiting for this day to come true
I was waiting
Not to long ago a man and wife
We're living what we like to call the good life
Everything they needed they had been blessed
In their prayers they had a request
We're not complaining life has been good
Grant this one wish if you could
Nine months later a baby cries
Thank you Lord welcome little guy
We were waiting
We were waiting, waiting, waiting all our lives for you
We were waiting, waiting, waiting for this day to come true
We were waiting
