At last I've found my golden moment
At last I've found my golden moment
At last
When you walked by my heartbeat
Girl, that I would always love you
Oh, how you opened up my world
The thrill of love you bring to me
Your tender touch is all I need

So glad you came into my world
World
I tried to imagine how it would be
To feel you close to me
And suddenly I opened my eyes
I know it's not a dream
And I've got to say
At last I've found my golden moment
At last I've found my golden moment
At last

Just like a dream I knew you would come true
So glad you came into my world
