Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Softly before you make
Wanting as you lie beside me one day in the sun
Watching as my love grows
Some height, lonely wind blows
Waiting for the moment that you wake up in my arms
Baby, this is my moment
Loving you is so easy for me
You're the best thing that happened to me
This is once in a lifetime
This is my special moment
This is all meant to be and to think and to see
This is once in a lifetime
Gentler is your sweet touch
Oh... baby, you mean so much
Oh no, where this world will lead us, I believe in love
This is once in a lifetime
Baby, this is my moment
Loving you is so easy for me
