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 

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
