Music Prompt #71 – New Year Special,”Waiting For Tonight” – Jennifer Lopez

Welcome to another exciting week at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie, this is Sanaa Rizvi, your kind hostess this week with a music video that’s gonna make us get up and dance!

With the weekend just around the corner, the city’s buzzing with zest and energy as folks prepare to welcome the New Year 2017. Some of us are busy throwing parties, while others gear up to visit and spend time with their loved ones. It’s the time where we look forward to new beginnings, it’s the time when we strive to make resolutions. Tonight, I want you guys to write down your deepest feelings regarding this auspicious event. How do you see or predict the year ahead, what are your hopes and dreams for the future. Feel free to take the subject in whichever direction that you desire.

And now without further ado, here’s presenting this week’s song choice. Wishing you all a most joyous and prosperous New Year! ❤️

Like a movie scene,
In the sweetest dreams,
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips,
On my finger tips,
I have to say is even better
Than I ever thought it could possibly be
It’s perfect, it’s passion, its setting me free
From all of my sadness,
The tears that I’ve cried, I have spent all my life

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Tender words you say,
Take my breath away,
Love me now, and leave me never
Found a sacred place, lost in your embrace,
I want to stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set,
On my empty heart,
All alone in my bed
Tossing and turning emotions were strong,
I knew I had to hold on

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Gone are the days when the sun used to set,
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning,
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight, Oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, Oh
I’ve dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight, Oh

  1. Oh, this song! We used to do a choreography at my dance class to it. I both love it and despise it at the same time, but until now, I never thought about connecting it to New Year’s Eve!
