Tinha Que Ser Você

A message arrived in my email
Declaring love with such sincere words
It provoked deep emotion
Said he was a friend
That he knew me
Would make a surprise to wait for him
Was afraid it would be too late
I counted the hours and minutes
Was it him? I don't know
Still, I waited
So, on that day when you looked at me
Shook me inside
Turned my world around
I realized, it had to be you
You held my hand
Said: Hi
A gentle look in your eyes revealed
Like a dream, I fell in love
It had to be you

It had to be you to win me over
Opening my mornings with poetry in the air
It had to be you
It had to be you to complete me
I waited so long
In God's arms
For you

For a long, long time I waited
The nights know how much I dreamed
I replied
It had to be you
