Carolyn Arends We've Been Waiting For You Lyrics

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 been so strange
To all at once be traveling a journey
All the way to this delivery room

But baby, you are not alone
No, your room is ready, let's go home
You're gonna like it here
Let me make it clear that

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
Oh, the taste of ice cream, your first kiss And when love takes your hand
You will understand why

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

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 gonna hear them saying

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
