Intro:


Verse 1:
                                     
I’ve felt you coming, girl, as you drew near
                                
I knew you’d find me, cause I longed you here
                            
Are you my destiny? Is this how you’ll appear
              
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?

Well, take that coat, babe, and throw it on the floor
                                   
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?


Verse 2:
                       
As you’ve been moving surely toward me
                      
My soul has comforted and assured me
                         
That in time my heart it will reward me
          
And that all will be revealed

So I’ve sat and I’ve watched an ice-age thaw
                                  
Are you the one that I’ve ben waiting for?


Verse 3:
                      
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
                         
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
                                    
They’re only little tears, darling, let them spill
              
And lay your head upon my shoulder

Outside my window the world has gone to war
                                   
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?


Bridge:
               
Oh, we will know, won’t we?
                                   
The stars will explode in the sky
               
Oh, but they don’t, do they?
                                      
Stars have their moments and then they pass


Verse 4:
                                
There’s a man who spoke wonders, though I’ve never met him
            
He said ”He who seeks finds

And who knocks will be let in”

I think of you in motion
               
And just how close you are getting
         
And how every little thing anticipates you

All down my veins my heart-strings call
                                   
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
                                   
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
