Finally
CeCe Peniston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
The one who shows me true love or at least it seems
With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle loving stare

Finally, you've come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, oh no no

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

It seems so many times, you seemed to be the one
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kinda girl

Finally, you've come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, oh no no

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Finally, oh finally yeah yeah
Oh oh, dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow

Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow
Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow
Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow
Dum-dum-mh, day-day-mh, yeah-yeah-mh, ow, dum-dum

Finally, you've come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, oh no no

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it

Finally, it has happened to me, right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally, it has happened to me

First off I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my newly revamped house in full earlier this year in 2023 at the age of 40 years old, and I'm now rejoicing by way of laughing and crying sweet tears of joy.

Finally it is happened to me, to where I've been set free financially, and all is right in my life.

Thank you Jesus, for my prayers have been answered ๐Ÿ˜‚.
