Lyrics
0:18Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
0:22Don't it feel like somethin' from a dream
0:26Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
0:30Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
0:34Baby we know better than to try and pretend
0:38Honey no one could have ever told me 'bout this

0:46The waiting is the hardest part
0:51Everyday you see one more card
0:55You take it on faith you take it to the heart
0:58The waiting is the hardest part
1:06Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around
1:10All it ever got me was down
1:14Yeah then there were those that made me feel good
1:18But never as good as I feel right now
1:22Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
1:26To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
