Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, yeah
Like a movie scene in the sweetest dream
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips on my fingertips
I have to say is even better
Than I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness, the tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh-oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
Tender words you say take my breath away
Love me now and leave me never
Found a sacred place, lost in your embrace
I wanna stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh-oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh-oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
(Quédate ahí, papi)
Gone are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh-oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight (tonight), oh (tonight)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (tonight), oh-oh (tonight)
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (tonight), oh-oh (tonight)
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight, oh
