When you said to me

You are not so old

Did I know it then?

'Cause I had just been told

I didn't think I'd find you

Perfect in so many ways

But I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to [have you]

I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to

D Dsus4 D Dsus9 G A Asus4 A (x 2)

The secret on your lips

That nobody knows

Gentle in your eyes

You can wear my clothes

I didn't think I'd find you

Perfect in so many ways

But I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to [have you]

I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to [have you]

I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to
