Key of C
[Intro]
C Am F G C
[Verse]
C F C
I see you standing in the light by the window of my bedroom
Em F
That old moon has never shined as bright
C G
As it's shining now on you
C F
I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight
Am G
I've been waitin' for you most of my life
C F
Now that we're together and the way we belong
G
I can't help but wonder why why did it take so long
[Chorus]
C G C G C G F
Sometimes it takes much time to find the right one to say
F C F C F
I wanna make you mine I wanna make you mine
F C F
Be with you all the time
F G
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines
C G C G C G
Sometimes it takes many roads to reach the right one to say
F C F C
Here's where I wanna be oh what you mean to me
F C F G
When we're making love I'll spend the rest of my life
C F
With you making up for lost time
Dm G C F G
Making up (echo-lady: making up) for lost time
C F C
I turn around and get lost in the look that you give to me
Em F C G
I drift away when I hear you say you've only lived to find me
C F
darlin' let me hold you in my arms darlin' oh so tight
Am G
I been waitin' for you most of my life
C F
Now that we're together and the way we belong
G
I can't help but wonder why why did it take so long
[Chorus]
F G C
we never spent together lost time
F G C
better late than never lost time
F Dm G C
you know we'll be everywhere making up making up for lost time
