[Verse 1]
It's been a long, long time
That I've wanted to hold, hold you close
Yes I long just to (hold you close, hold you close)
It's been a long, long time
And oh, it's been a long time
That I've wanted to kiss your sweet lips
Yes, I long just to (kiss you once, kiss you twice)
It's been a long, long time, oh yeah
[Bridge]
You know I (been all over the world)
(Searching for someone like you)
(Much to my surprise)
(You) came into my view
[Verse 2]
Well it's been a long, long time
That I've wanted to hold, hold you close
Yes I long just to (hold you close, hold you close)
It's been a long time since I
(held you close, held you close)
And I long just to
(kiss you once, kiss you twice)
Oh, I wanna
(hold you close, hold you close)
Yeah
(kiss you once, kiss you twice)
