Lyrics (Are You) The One I've Been Waiting For - Jimmy Little

(Are You) The One I've Been Waiting For

I’ve felt you comin' girl as you drew near
I knew you’d find me 'cause I longed you here
Are you my destiny?
Is this how you’ll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with a tear in your eye
Well take that coat and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I’ve been waitin' for?
As you’ve been moving surely towards me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time, my heart, it will reward me
And all will be revealed
So I sat and I’ve watched an ice age thaw
Are you the one that I’ve been waitin' for?
Out of sorrow, entire worlds have been built
Out of longing, great wonders have been willed
They’re only little tears, darlin', let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window.
the world’s gone to war
Are you the one that I’ve been waitin' for?
Oh we’ll know, won’t we?
The stars will explode in the sky
But they don’t, do they?
Stars had their moment, then they die
There’s a man who spoke wonders, though I’ve never met him
He said, «He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in»
I think of you in motion and how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heartstrings call
Are you the one that I’ve been waitin' for?
Are you the one that I’ve been waitin' for?
