I'll Be Waiting (Acoustic) - Gengahr

We met, of all places, in front of Gristides Some freakishly cold winter's day I had on several unflattering layers of wool He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full So I rescued some Froot Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go When he said, "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow? Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at seven If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here And in case there are two fellas waiting for you My name's John" He waved, and then He was gone Needless to say, I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show And there he was Out in the cold, with his jacket pulled tight He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight The next week, we went to this terrible play And the week after that, drank hot chocolate all day And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by When he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life? Because I'll be here Right beside you, as long as you want me to be There's no question There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life This might sound immature But I'm totally sure You're the one" And we had just begun! We got hitched in September, our favorite month With a rock band that played in this old synagogue And we bought an apartment, on West 17th Street And talked about children and getting a dog Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off He had to stop into his office that morning, and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know When I heard on the street, what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left With the last words he said I'm sorry I don't mean to ruin your evening By bringing up all of this stuff You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight Well, today something happened that spooked me alright I saw this stormcloud of papers fall down from the sky And I thought of that day, and I started to cry When as sure as I breathe, I heard John, clear as day Saying, "Hey, you're allowed to move on It's okay Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater Even if you go out on my birthday this year Instead of sitting at home Letting all of life's moments pass by You don't have to cry! Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together When you take off my ring, and you let yourself smile When you meet someone handsome and patient and true When he says that he wants to be married to you When you call him one night, and he meets you downtown When you finally answer him yes..." Yes! Jason... I will marry you I will give you my heart It has taken so long But I'm ready to start Right now John's whispering 'congrats' in my ear Cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here

When you love someone just 'cause you do When you say something, it don't make it true Well, I'm lost for words, but I won't lose you You know time is cruel, yeah, I've been there too So I'll be around When your heart is strong, but your mind is weak, I'll be around When you've fallen down, and can't find your feet, I'll be around When you've got no one, you're losing sleep, I'll be around I'll be around When it's all too much, and you fade away Asking how you'll make it through the day Well, it's a long road, but I don't mind the rain So promise it won't stay this way So I'll be around when your heart is strong, but your mind is weak I'll be around when you've fallen down, and can't find your feet I'll be around when you've got no one, you're losing sleep I'll be around 'Cause you know time won't bring you back Oh, you know I wish it worked like that And I can't stand seeing you like this You don't need to be alone with the past So you love someone just 'cause you do And you say something like I love you And you hate goodbyes, but you don't need to So take your time, and I'll see you soon I'll be around

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta
