美國當代福音樂天后［艾美葛蘭特］──成人流行／當代福音抒情曲──［The Prodigal (Ill Be Waiting)／浪子(我會等待)］

I face the day again

Against the window pane.

I remain your closest friend,

And wish you back again.

You wonder how i feel;

You think youve pushed too far.

If only you could see this pen

Scribbling down my heart.

Ill be waiting.

I may be young or old and gray,

Counting the days,

But ill be waiting,

And when i finally see you come,

Ill run when i see you--

Ill meet you.

But still the days drag on.

Why did you decide to go?

Did you only need to see

What only time can show?

Ill be waiting.

I may be young or old and gray,

Counting the days,

But ill be waiting,

And when i finally see you come,

Ill run when i see you.

And even if

You never do return,

Still i will have learned

How to love you better.

Ill be waiting.

I may be young or old and gray,

Counting the days,

But ill be waiting,

And when i finally see you come,

Ill run to meet you.

Ill be waiting.

I may be young or old and gray,

Counting the days,

Ill be waiting,

And when i finally see you come,

Ill run to meet you.

１９８５年５月　２４歲半的美國當代福音音樂天后艾美．葛蘭特（Amy Grant）推出第六張錄音室大碟／事業第９張專輯〔Unguarded／毫無防備〕（A&M, Word Records出版）

由長期伙伴Brown Bannister製作　艾美參與七首歌曲創作

曲風大變, 轉為流行／搖滾, 成人當代流行味

關於宗教信仰的歌詞縮減──雖仍有不少勵志內容

不過樂評仍舊出色　被視為其事業經典之一。

１９８６年，艾美推出大碟第五單曲［The Prodigal (Ill Be Waiting)／浪子(我會等待)］，

由葛蘭特，Gary Chapman，Robbie Buchanan合寫，

Brown Bannister製作成一首成人流行／當代福音抒情曲，

編曲精緻，在悠揚的鋼琴聲中，艾美以柔軟嗓音娓娓詮釋，溫婉迷人．

［The Prodigal (Ill Be Waiting)／浪子(我會等待)］登上當代福音音樂雜誌（CCM）的成人當代榜（AC）＃３１,

這是葛蘭特在１９８０年的當代福音抒情佳作之一．
