I see you standing by the light in the window of my bedroom That old moon has never shined as bright as it's shining now on you I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight I've been waiting for you most of my life Now that we're together and we're where we belong I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine Be with you all the time And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me When we're making love I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time Making up, making up for lost time I turn around and get lost in the look that you give to me I drift away when I hear you say you've only lived to find me Darling, let me hold you in my arms, darling, oh, so tight I've been waiting for you most of my life Now that we're together and we're where we belong I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine Be with you all the time And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me When we're making love I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time Making up, making up for lost time We never spent together, lost time Better late than never, lost time You know we'll be everyday Making up, making up for lost time We never spent together, lost time Better late than never, lost time We never spent together, lost time
