NOW
John Patitucci Lyrics

All my life I've waited
Throughout my entire existence, I have been anticipating something important

And I've been afraid and
Simultaneously, I have also been fearful of what I am waiting for

I wondered If I'd find
I pondered whether or not I would encounter

Someone to share my life
Another person with whom to experience my time on this earth

Every day I prayed and
On a daily basis, I would offer supplication

Every night I searched in
On nightly occasions, I would scour

Every stranger's eyes
The eyes of complete strangers

For some kind of sign
In search of any indication

Me and my heart wishin' in the dark
My heart and I both longing for something we cannot see

Tryin' to believe in a sky full of stars
Attempting to have faith in a multitude of possibilities

I was waiting for you
I was specifically waiting for you

A million empty days, too much time and space
Countless days where nothing seemed to happen, too much distance between us

Every tear I cried, every lonely night
Every instance of sadness and isolation

Now here you are
But now you are finally here

And my world is, my world is so beautiful
And as a result, my world has become immensely beautiful

Now here you are
Once again, I acknowledge your presence

And my life is, and my life is so wonderful
As such, my life has likewise become wonderful

The past seems like a dream
My previous experiences seem almost imaginary

Just vacancy
They are now simply void

How did I exist before our first kiss
I cannot imagine how I was living prior to sharing my initial kiss with you

Oh I feel so lucky because I know you
I am incredibly fortunate to know that you exist

Love me
And to love me in return

And no one ever has, like no one ever has
No one in the history of time has ever made me feel this way before
