I used to dream of somebody like you

That I fell in love with,

and he loved me too

Then one day I woke up,

and like a beautiful song

You sang to my heart

What took you so long



chorus:

Where have you been,

with your tender kiss

All of my life I’ve been longing for this

I kept thinking I’d found you,

just to find I was wrong

Now finally you found me

What took you so long



I can’t believe it’s as good as it feels

But I know I’m not dreaming,

so this must be real

There’s only one question 

I keep dwelling on

What in the world took you so long



repeat chorus



I kept thinking I’d found you, 

just to find I was wrong

Now finally you found me

What took you so long

Finally you found me

What took you so long
