Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's on, and it's on,
and it's on, and it's on,
And it's on tonight
It's about time that we met
And it's about time a love I won't forget
For so long I've waited for the chance
And to lie with you baby
In my dreams I take you by the hand
In our house on the beach
Making love on jet black sand
[Bridge]
Baby finally the time
Has come for us to share
The joy that we will need
And nothing can compare
[Chorus]
I waited all my life
Boy for you to come along
And make that joyful sacrifice
Two kids, a dog, and a home
Is like a dream come to life
When I look into your dazing eyes
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
All my life I've waited
To get next to you
You, baby you
And every night I've prayed
Your love would come my way<
And finally the time
Has come for us to be lovers
