And even when the sky was darkest grey 
I never gave up searching 
For someone to take my loneliness away 
And wash away my hurting 
(bridge 1)
And then you turned my fantasy 
Into reality 
You turned my night-time into day 
(chorus) 
Once in a lifetime comes a lover 
All you`re looking for 
Maybe I`ve found my perfect lover 
I`ve waited so long for someone like you 
And even though the world can be so cold 
I never gave up hoping 
I`m waiting for the story to unfold 
And there`s no way of knowing 
(bridge 2)
That the love you`re looking for 
Won`t come too easily 
Or maybe you`re too blind to see 
(chorus) 
I`ve waited so long 
I`ve waited so long for someone like you 
(bridge 2) 
(chorus ad lib)
