And even when the sky was darkest grey
I never gave up searching
For someone to take my loneliness away
And wash away my hurting

And then you turned my fantasy
Into reality
You turned my night-time into day

Once in a lifetime comes a lover
All you're looking for
Maybe I've found my perfect lover
I've waited so long for someone like you

And even though the world can be so cold
I never gave up hoping
I'm waiting for the story to unfold
And there's no way of knowing

That the love you're looking for
Won't come too easily
Or maybe you're too blind to see

Once in a lifetime comes a lover
All you're looking for
Maybe I've found my perfect lover
I've waited so long for someone like you

I've waited so long
I've waited so long for someone like you

That the love you're looking for
Won't come too easily
Or maybe you're too blind to see
