What if I told you it was all meant to be (eeee)
Would you believe me, would you agree
It's almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss.
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Everything changes, but beauty remains
Something so tender I can't explain
Well I may be dreaming but till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love that we share

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Ohh!
I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment... like this!

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
A moment like this!
For that one special kiss

Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
A moment like this
