| 'Right Here Waiting' was the second single from Repeat Offender,
after 'Satisfied'. In an era of power ballads, "Right Here Waiting"
distinguished itself by its understatement; the track was arranged by
Marx with Jeffery (C.J.) Vanston to feature none of the heavy drums and
synth popular at the time, with Marx's vocal accompanied only by guitar
(by Bruce Gaitsch) and keyboards (by Vanston). It is one of Marx's most
frequently covered compositions. |
I will be right here waiting for you
by Richard Marx
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 though 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 goin' 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 goin' 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
Richard Noel Marx
| Born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois - Richard Marx - is an
American adult contemporary and pop/rock singer, songwriter, musician,
and record producer. He had a string of hit singles in the late 1980s
and 1990s, including 'Endless Summer Nights', 'Right Here Waiting', 'Now
and Forever', and 'Hazard'.
Although most of his major hit songs were slow ballads, many of his
songs had a classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing,' 'Should've
Known Better,' 'Satisfied,' and 'Too Late To Say Goodbye". Marx placed
himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his
first seven singles hit the Top 5 on the US charts. |
