Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a movie scene in the sweetest dream
I pictured us together
Now to feel your lips, on my finger tips
I have to say is even better
Than I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness, the tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Tender words you say, take my breath away
Love me now and leave me never
Found a sacred place, lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
Gone are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh (Tonight, tonight)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh (Tonight, tonight)
I've dreamed of this love for so long
[Chorus]
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh (Tonight, tonight)
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight, oh
