(Bob McDill/Dickey Lee)

Others have touched me

Soft in the night

Others have kissed me

And held me tight

Good times and lovers

Yes, I've had a few

But I was just waiting

For someone like you

I have been lonely

And I have been loved

I've grown used to losing

What I'm fondest of

I can see clearly now

My whole life through

I was just waiting

For someone like you

But I never wasted

A minute of my time

Every road I ever took

Led me to your side

No, I never wasted

A minute of my time

Every road I ever took

Led me to your side

Don't it seem funny, love

That I never knew

I was just waiting

For someone like you

I was just waiting

I was just waiting

For someone like you
