[Verse 1]
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
'Til the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
[Verse 2]
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
[Chorus]
Wanna stay right here 'til the end of time
'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
[Pre-Chorus]
All I've known, all I've done, all I've felt
Was leading to this
All I've known, all I've done, all I've felt
Was leading to this
[Chorus]
Wanna stay right here 'til the end of time
'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one
[Post Chorus]
I've waited for
[Chorus]
Wanna stay right here 'til the end of time
'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
The one I've waited for
[Outro]
The one
I've waited for
Ooh, oh
