Song lyrics

This is just another day that I would spend waiting for the right one

Staring at the night, and wishing I could be the one to feel the warm sun


You're a dream, but I'm wide awake

I'm in Heaven, for Heaven's sake

So get ready (get ready), I'm ready now (get ready)

I could never need you more than now


You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

Hold on to you tight, for once in my life

You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

This kind of love, you'll only find

Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime


Tell me that you're living in a place where no one else can find you

Tell me that you're singing out my name, hoping that I'll hear you


Tell me "no", and I'll fade away

But this is loving that I won't waste

So get ready (get ready), I'm ready now (get ready)

I could never need you more than now


You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

Hold on to you tight, for once in my life

You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

This kind of love, you'll only find

Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime


"What are the words I'm needing to hear?"

"How do I know if I'll ever love again?"

Seeing your face makes everything clear (clear) clear

And I'll never be the same


You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

Hold on to you tight, for once in my life

You were worth the waiting for

You, the one that I adore

This kind of love, you'll only find

Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
