[Verse 1]
If you want to know
Why I miss you so
Just think back to the first time
We were in love
[Verse 2]
The night was getting late
I recognised my fate
When you spoke
I awoke
We were in love
[Chorus]
Waiting, I'd been waiting so long for this
Waiting, all my life had been hit and miss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life
[Verse 3]
Your solemn face, your eyes
Lit up at this surprise
My heart sped, raced ahead
For we were in love
[Verse 4]
After that we stayed
Together every day
I relaxed with the fact
That we were in love
So in love
[Chorus]
Waiting, (Always waiting) all my life had been hit and miss
Waiting (Always waiting) to experience such a kiss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life
[Verse 5]
Now if your heart is cold
And I seem too old
Just think back to the first time
We were in love
So in love
We were in love
So in love
If you want to know
Why I miss you so
Just think back to the first time
We were in love
[Verse 2]
The night was getting late
I recognised my fate
When you spoke
I awoke
We were in love
[Chorus]
Waiting, I'd been waiting so long for this
Waiting, all my life had been hit and miss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life
[Verse 3]
Your solemn face, your eyes
Lit up at this surprise
My heart sped, raced ahead
For we were in love
[Verse 4]
After that we stayed
Together every day
I relaxed with the fact
That we were in love
So in love
[Chorus]
Waiting, (Always waiting) all my life had been hit and miss
Waiting (Always waiting) to experience such a kiss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life
[Verse 5]
Now if your heart is cold
And I seem too old
Just think back to the first time
We were in love
So in love
We were in love
So in love
