“Waiting for a Girl Like You” by Foreigner is this Friday’s song. Teresa and I are celebrating our eleventh wedding anniversary tomorrow. This 1981 power ballad expresses how I felt when I first met Teresa in 2008 and every day since then much better than I ever could.
I shared the “vinyl” version which has pretty good sound and a live performance. I hope you enjoy it!
My darling, I thank God every day for helping me find you and thank you for saying yes.
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you, your a love that will survive
I’ve been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
…
When you love someone
Yeah, I really love someone
Now, I know it’s right
From the moment I wake up ’til deep in the night
There’s nowhere on earth that I’d rather be than holding you tenderly
Songwriters: Lou Grammatico / Mick Jones
