The song “Right Here Waiting” has been composed by artist and
composer Richard Marx for his wife. Since at that moment they were not married
yet and she was in South Africa, the two were not able to see each other for
what seemed to be quite a long time. Richard Marx mentioned that the song was
written in about 20 minutes and it was simply intended to be a “love letter”
for his future wife and not intended to become public. Being a “love letter” it
is expected that the song will transmit his powerful feelings of affection
towards her and this can be noticed even from the first verses of the song. The
fact that Marx says “I slowly go insane” and “I hear your voice on the line,
but it doesn’t stop the pain” shows that the idea of being away from the love
of his life is unbearable for him and that the only thing that would end his
suffering would be her coming closer to him. His love is also noticeable when
he mentions that “Whatever it takes/ Or how my heart breaks/ I will be
right here waiting for you” showing that even if he suffers, he will always
wait for her.
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
