I've been waiting waitin' on a girl like you
I've been waiting waiting all of my life
I've been waiting waiting on a girl like you
I've been waitin' on a girl like you all of my life

I was running out of patience running out of dreams
Heaven must have sent you to shine a light on me
The moment that I saw you you took my breath away
To answer to a prayer that I've been praying every day
I've been waiting
[ guitar ]
Everybody told me they told me I was wrong
They said that I was crazy you'd never come along
Now I'm so glad I waited I can't believe you're mine
You touched me and you saved me just in the nick of time
I've been waiting
I've been waiting I've been waiting
I've been waiting I've been waiting
Yes I've been waiting on a girl like you
I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting
