Been Waiting For You

Got the wind in my hair, the sun overhead Life’s pretty good, nothing misread Sounds of the surf fill my ears Been looking for you all these years In my thoughts I knew when it was right You'd come out of nowhere and into my life You make me smile every day and so... When I’m with you I want you to know When I’m with you it all makes sense My heart is full, there’s no pretense I’ve been waiting for you but didn't know it I saw your face, I felt your heart, but I couldn’t show it I dreamt of how we met, and though it was late You walked around a corner as though it was fate We’ll both knew at once, though it seemed A thought, a hope, a kind of dream If I close my eyes you take me there As I look at you I cant help but stare I swim in the love I see in your eyes I know your God’s gift and my prize I’ve been waiting for you but didn't know it I saw your face, I felt your heart, but I couldn’t show it The south of France or Malibu A beach is where I long to be with you A walk on the sand holding your hand It feels good just to be your man People around, lots of chatter I’m lost in your eyes, it doesn’t matter Haut Couture or rue Antibes sales Love being with you for three-hour meals I’ve been waiting for you but didn't know it I saw your face, I felt your heart, but I couldn’t show it I thank the stars above For leading me to your light your love I knew someday I’d find a soul that some call mate Didn’t know when, left it to fate I’ve been waiting for you but didn't know it I saw your face, I felt your heart, but I couldn’t show it Now I just close my eyes and I know it’s right And just the next step in our new life… Some have asked about how song turned out. Check for on itunes under my name Shawn Sackman. Thanks.
