Long Time Coming Lyrics by Patrice Rushen

Watch Out!

1987

[Verse 1]
I see the look in your eyes
It touches something inside
I know now I've never felt before
Not in my wildest dreams or most romantic scenes
Could anyone move me more
Just like a summer breeze
Your love came to me
Sweeping me off my feet
Now you better believe

[Chorus]
It's been a long time, a long time coming
Oh yeah, without your love
It's been a long time coming without real loving
The way it feels with you
It's been a long time, long time
It's been a long time, a long time coming

[Verse 2]
It's just a mystery the things you do to me
Oh baby, the happiness you bring
You're like the words to a song that I've known all along
And never got to sing
I thought I'd seen it all
Fallen once or twice before
Now your love's showing me what I've waited for

[Chorus]
It's been a long time, a long time coming
Oh yeah, without your love
It's been a long time coming without real loving
The way it feels with you
It's been a long time, long time
It's been a long time, a long time coming

[Bridge]
All my life I've been waiting
For my dreams to come true
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
Celebrate
Now I am not alone
Hey, I'm coming home

[Chorus]
It's been a long time, a long time coming
Oh yeah, without your love
It's been a long time coming without real loving
The way it feels with you
(It's been a long time, long time) Baby, with you
It's been a long time coming without real loving
'Cause it feels so good with you
Oh-oh, oh yeah

[Outro]
It's been a long time, a long time coming
Oh yeah, without your love
It's been a long time coming without real loving
The way it feels with you
(It's been a long time, long time) Baby, with you
Oh oh, I've been searching high, I've been searching low
It's been a long time coming, yeah
(It's been a long time, long time)
Oh-oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You know it's true, my love for you
It's been a long time coming, yeah
(It's been a long time, long time)
It's been a long time coming, yeah
