Makin' Up For Lost Time (The Dallas Lovers' Song)

(album: What If We Fall In Love? - 1986)

I see you standing by the light in the window of my bedroom
That old moon has never shined as bright as it's shining now on you
I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight
I've been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we're together and we're where we belong
I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long

Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say
I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine
Be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say
Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me
When we're making love
I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up, making up for lost time

I turn around and get lost in the look that you give to me
I drift away when I hear you say you've only lived to find me
Darling, let me hold you in my arms, darling, oh, so tight
I've been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we're together and we're where we belong
I can't help but wonder why, why did it take so long

Sometimes it takes too much time to find the right one to say
I wanna make you mine, I wanna make you mine
Be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach the right one to say
Here's where I wanna be, oh, what you mean to me
When we're making love
I'll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up, making up for lost time

We never spent together, lost time
Better late than never, lost time
You know we'll be everyday
Making up, making up for lost time

We never spent together, lost time
Better late than never, lost time
We never spent together, lost time
