Everybody wants to be loved
Every once in a while
We all need someone to hold on to
Just like a helpless child, yeah
Can you whisper in my ear, let me know it's alright

Refrain:
It's been a long time coming
Down this road and now I know
What I've been waitin' for
And like a lonely highway
Im tryin to get home
Ooo, love's been a long time comin'

You can love for a lifetime
You can love for a day, you can think
You've got everything but everything is
Nothing when you throw it away, yeah
Then you look in my eyes
And I have it all once again

Refrain

Didn't know I was lost till you found me, uh huh
Didn't know I was blind, but now I see

Can you whisper in my ear, let me know it's alright

It's been a long time coming
Down this road and now I know
What I've been searchin' for
Ooo, been a long, long highway, and now I see
Ooo, love's been a long time,
Ooo, been a long time,
Love's been a long time comin'
