Je N'Attendais Que Toi

I was only waiting for you
Like a love-struck fool
My heart adrift
Loving day by day
I wasn’t tied down
Dreaming you would come

I was only waiting for you
To bloom in your seasons
With eternal phrases
And in a whirlwind
To tell you a thousand times
That you are the most beautiful

Come hold me tight
Snuggled in my arms
You’ll be on my body
Like a nut that cracks
In the spring revealed
My laughter bursting
Will echo in the air
Like a flag that snaps

I was only waiting for you
Searching in hope
For the strength to survive
When my heart was dark
When my soul was cold
To start living
I was only waiting for you

I was only waiting for you
Me dreaming of the absolute
Of impossible things
Emerging from the unknown
To become your king
Powerful and invincible

I was only waiting for you
When you arrived
You just had to smile at me
Everything lit up
And I knew the joy
Of loving like we breathe

Come, let’s wash away yesterday
With my heart on your heart
My lips on your skin
And my hands on your hips
I’d enter your life
A tender pain
Will unleash your cries
In the depths of our sleepless nights

I was only waiting for you
Hoping day and night
To draw new joys
From the springs of life
To find in your arms
Eternal youth
I was only waiting for you
I was only waiting for you

I was only waiting for you
I was only waiting for you
