[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love you'll only find
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
[Verse 2]
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 lovin' that I won't waste
So get ready (get ready), I'm ready now (get ready)
I could never need you more than now
[Chorus]
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love you'll only find
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
[Bridge]
What are the words I'm needin' 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
[Chorus]
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love you'll only find
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
