Song Lyrics

So long
I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long.
Sometimes I don't know what I will find.
I only know its a matter of time.
When you love someone.
When you love someone.

It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too.

Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time, I wanna be sure.

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life.
I've been waiting for a girl like you,
A love that will survive.

You're so good
When we make love it's understood
Its more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Really love someone.

Now, I know its right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's no where on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you, tenderly.

I've been waiting for a girl like you,
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive.
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you,
To come into my life.

I've been waiting, waiting for you,
Ooh, I've been waiting
I've been waiting,
I've been waiting for a girl like you
I've been waiting, waiting for you.
