Lyrics

If She's Waiting in the Window
(English Version of Esperando na Janela) �?�?�?�© 2008
By Targino Gondim, Manuca Almeida & Raimundinho do Acordeon) - Translation by Doug Adair

Verse
My heart is pounding like a kettle drum and there's a very simple reason why
I asked the girl I love to let me know........if I'm to be her one and only guy
My feet are flying down the street so fast, my legs are aching and my chest is tight
My eyes are straining for the sight of her, my hands are shaking, and my head is feeling light
When I see her house she'll let me know--if I should shout or I should cry

Chorus
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
When I see her house she'll let me know
If she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more

Repeat Chorus
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
When I see her house she'll let me know
If she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more

Instrumental Break

I remember well the moment we first met, it seems like it was only yesterday
I dream about her every single night.......I think of her with every breath I take
I've tried to tell her of my love for her and prove my love is true in every way
I hope she knows how much I love her now and that forever in my heart she'll stay
And now at last the answer is at hand. Will she be mine?--Dear Lord, I pray!

Chorus
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
I see her house and now I know
Yes, she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more

Chorus
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
I can her house and now I know
Yes, she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more

Instrumental Break - Jazz

Chorus
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
I see her house and now I know
Yes, she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more

Repeat Chorus and End
I asked my love to tell me yes or no
I see her house and now I know
Yes, she's waiting in the window
She'll be mine forever more
