It Was Waiting To Happen

(Album: I've Got Yesterday - 1972)

It was waiting to happen the love I dreamed would end up gloom
It was waiting to happen like a lovely rose that waits to bloom
When you held me and kissed me I found the love that was true
It was waiting to happen and it happened when I found you

I'm confessing there were others whose arms have held me tight
There were temporary lovers who eased my lonely nights
But I never gave my heart away for I knew there must be
Love my heart had always hungered for waiting somewhere for me

It was waiting to happen the love I dreamed would end up gloom
It was waiting to happen like a lovely rose that waits to bloom
When you held me and kissed me I found the love that was true
It was waiting to happen and it happened when I found you
