Elliott Yamin - Wait For You

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you
& I'm wishing that you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go? You could have let me know
So now I'm all alone,
Girl you could have stayed
but you wouldnt give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more then i can stand
And all my tears they keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you wanted to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just aint true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

It's been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You got me feeling crazy (crazy)
How can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is & it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me, your still in love with me
Don't leave me crying.

Baby why can't we just start over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But your telling me it wont be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just aint true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

So why does you pride make you run & hide
Are you that afriad of me?
But I know it's a lie what your keeping inside
Thats not how you wanted to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it's the last thing i do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just aint true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

I'll Be Waiting.

半夜看MTV台總會聽到令自己很有感覺的歌曲

底下是關於艾略特的介紹...


他…從小一隻耳朵失聰、打過快50多份工
他一曲讓評審 寶拉阿巴杜(Paula Abdul)激動落淚
也讓毒舌評審賽門與蘭迪傑克森五體投地
甚至讓傳奇巨星「史提夫汪達」感動力挺背書

仔細傾聽，你實在很難相信，
這樣的歌唱天份竟然隱藏了這麼多年才被發現！

在全美熱門歌唱選秀節目「美國偶像」第5季(*2006年)中拿到總排名第3名的艾略特。亞明(Elliott Yamin)擁有一副能夠穿透流行與R&B歌曲的唱腔，就連該節目的毒舌評審賽門(Simon Cowell)都稱讚他是該節目前5季的所有參賽者中最棒的男歌手。1978年7月20號出生於洛杉磯的他，在青春歲月經歷了讓人難以想像的艱困打擊，13歲時，醫生診斷他的右耳失去了百分之90的聽力，16歲時，他罹患了第一型糖尿病。面對這樣的人生，艾略特不但沒有被擊垮，反而從醫療的過程中感受到糖尿病對世人的傷害，投身關懷糖尿病病患的慈善活動。打從17歲開始，艾略特就不斷的在打工，他估計自己大概做過近50種工作，但是卻從來沒想到他的歌唱才華才是他天生注定要走的路。特別當艾略特亞明在「美國偶像」節目中持續晉級時，製作單位安排了靈魂樂傳奇巨星史提夫汪達(Stevie Wonder)擔任歌唱教練嘉賓，史提夫在與艾略特進行教唱時，對艾略特說：「我認為你一定要投身歌唱事業。」艾略特就是在聽過史提夫這番讚美之詞之後，深受震撼與感動，更加堅定了追逐歌唱夢想的決心。

艾略特的首張專輯勇奪Billboard流行專輯榜與網路專輯銷售榜第3名，同時也獲得全美唱片公會頒發的金唱片銷售認證。首支刻劃癡心之情的感人戀歌"Wait For You"在Billboard流行單曲榜與成人抒情榜中登上第5名，同時晉升熱門單曲榜第13名，這首單曲也入選全美TOP40電台「2007年年度10大熱播單曲」的第8名，而在網路上的下載銷售則是超過80萬次。專輯同時收錄他在節目中演唱曾經由木匠兄妹合唱團(The Carpenters)、雷查爾斯(Ray Charles)等人都唱紅過的名曲"A Song For You"，還有展露艾略特的白人放克型男風格的歌曲"Movin’ On"。請您仔細品味這位讓全美話題沸騰的「好人卡」型男，他那讓千萬觀眾在電視機前怦然心動的靈魂歌聲，必定也能讓你同意評審蘭迪為何以「驚天動地」(The Bomb)這個字來形容這位來自維吉尼亞州的大男生的歌藝。
