What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love, I found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you
You are the promised kiss of springtime
You are the breathless hush of evening

The dearest things I know are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine

Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
