Now That You Are Here
Christian Bautista Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found you at last
You are worth the wait
Now I know that love is never late
Most times I ask
Where've you been all this time
But that doesn't matter now
Coz you are mine

Now you are so near
Your breath I hear
I've been waiting so long for you
I though I never find you
But now I'm sure
This love will be real

I found you at last
You are worth the wait
Now I know that love is never late
My search has ended
My heart is mended
By your love that is true
And my love that is you

Now that you are here
Flowin' with love and care
Imagine all the years
That we will spend together
I can't wait to start
My life with you.

Many sunsets have past
Each one lonely, never lovely
But you came here today
You shed light to my dark days.

Now you are so near
Your breath I hear
I've been waiting so long for you
I though I never find you
But now I'm sure
This love will be real

Now you are here
Flowin' with love and care
Imagine all the years
That we will spend together
I can't wait to start
My life with you.

Your breath I hear...

I thought I never find you...
