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)
