I've been waiting for you all my life
To touch your skin, to hold you in my arms
Like a lily in the bed, a flower through the strife
A star shining in the night to give me all its charms
We weren't supposed to believe this could be real
I've been dying to smile just like this
To open my eyes to this world of love
We waited so long to feel this kiss
Tonight we are rising above
As we come to believe this could be real
All of my senses had gone out of my brain
I was climbing the fences to pull out of the pain
And I found this face that I recognize
I've been waiting for you all my life
To touch your skin, to hold you in my arms
We waited so long to feel so right
Tonight I will keep you from harm
We can finally see, this is real
