Lyrics
True love is sent by a kindly fate
Sent as a blessing to those who wait
I’ve waited dear, now we’re face to face
I hold you near in one fond embrace
Chorus:
I’ve waited a lifetime for you
I’ve waited for dreams to come true
Through all the years I’ve been dreaming
Through falling tears I’ve been scheming
I’ve planned all the things we would do
And wonderful things they are, too
Now I found you somehow
And I can’t lose you now
For I’ve waited a lifetime for you
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
