I was waiting for you
And I watched my body grow
While I searched for
The name I gave you
In the mirror
I was a full moon in profile
With you inside, I was never so happy
I was dying to feel
Your fragile little legs
Kicking the darkness
Of my mature womb
Dreaming costs nothing, no
And with teary eyes
I saw you so high, what's more
At the top of the world
I was waiting for you
Blindly imagining the color
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice
Scared to death
I begged heaven to let you
Go far, much farther than me
I was waiting for you
And I'd paint on the walls
Of your room, dreams in color
I kept subtracting days from the calendar
Only you could cure me
From my life on stage
The world is what it is
And I can't change it for you
But I'll always follow you
To give you a hand
I was waiting for you
Blindly imagining the color
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice
Scared to death
I begged heaven to let you
Go far, much farther than me
I was waiting for you
And in the mirror, I'd watch you while
I already loved you
