What Was I Waiting For

There's candlelight and roses as the music softly plays
I'm caught in the warmth of your gaze
Sweet words of love are whispered in my ear
you reach out to pull me near
Your touch is light upon my skin
Desires grow stronger than my fear
(chorus)
Your lips are soft and kisses warm
They keep me longing for more
My only thought now has become
What was I waiting for
What was I waiting for
The curtains softly dance now, my windows open wide
I no longer feel a need to hide
The evening's heat welcomes a fragrant summer breeze
I lay aside insecurities
I open to this chance at love
pushing the past out of my mind
(chorus)
Your lips are soft and kisses warm
They keep me longing for more
My only thought now has become
What was I waiting for
What was I waiting for
Mirroring my feelings the passion burns within
eyes that beckon love to come in
Trusting with my heart I'll follow your lead
and hope to find all that I need
I lay there in your warm embrace
and pray I've found where I belong
(chorus)
Your lips are soft and kisses warm
They keep me longing for more
My only thought now has become
What was I waiting for
What was I waiting for
