Story Behind The Song
The song was originally written to submit to a teen related musical show, to be done in a boy band style. I have since realized it as a girl group song, in the style made famous by Natalie Cole, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.
Song Description
A song reminiscent of the songs from the early rock and R&B Days, revisited in a modern Motown style. A song about waiting for love, wishing, hopeing and praying for love, and it never seems to arrive.

Lyrics
I'm always waiting at the Fountain of Love
I'm always tossin' my pennies in, crossin' my fingers and comin' up empty-handed.
Waiting at the Fountain of Love, dreaming of you.
I'm always wishing on a shooting star.
I'm always hoping, believing, imagining, dreaming, and wakin' up...only lonely.
Wishing on a shooting star that you wish for me too.
Could it be there is magic in the air tonight?
Could it be there's an answer to my prayer tonight?
Could it be that you'll be waiting there tonight?
And will you love me, or will I still be..
Waiting at the Fountain of Love, dreaming of you?
Don't you dream of me too?
Don't leave me here waiting.
Don't leave me waiting right here at the Fountain of Love!
ooo...
Is there magic in the air tonight?
ooo..
Is there an answer to my prayer tonight?
ooo...
Will you be waiting there tonight?
And will you love me?
Or will I still be
Waiting at the Fountain of Love?
Will I be tossin' my pennies in, crossin' my fingers and comin' up empty-handed?
Waiting at the Fountain of Love, Dreaming of you, don't you dream of me too?
Don't leave me here waiting,
Don't leave me waiting right here at the Fountain of Love!
Don't leave me waiting here!
Don't leave me waiting here!
Don't leave me waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
Don't leave me waiting here
at the Fountain of Love!
