Lyrics "In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins:
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord Can you feel it coming
in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning
I'ld not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember
I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget it's the first time
The last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don't fool me
But the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
