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 Ive been longing for this
I kept thinking Id found you,
just to find I was wrong
Now finally you found me
What took you so long
I cant believe its as good as it feels
But I know Im not dreaming,
so this must be real
Theres only one question
I keep dwelling on
What in the world took you so long
repeat chorus
I kept thinking Id 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
