It took a long time to find this place;

It took a long time to see happy...

It took a long time to recognize your face;

It took a long time, running around...

It took a long time to find this place;

(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life,)

It took a long time to see happy...

(For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy...)

It took a long time to recognize your face;

(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life,)

It took a long time running around...

(For the first time in my life - running around...)

Nothing good comes easy, nothing makes it fast

No one ever made love overnight to last

So it took so many, many years to meet;

'Til we came together, I was incomplete...

Yes, I was! (Took a long time, took a long time,) Yeah! Yeah-heah-heah-heah... (Took a long time...)

(Took a long time, took a long time, took a long time...)

(It took a long time to find this place...)

Love won’t be divided - helped me find my space;

(It took a long time to see happy...)

Spirit over matter - felt my angel near!

(It took a long time to recognize your face...)

You’re the place I worship, you’re the place I’ll stay;

(It took a long time, running around...)

Wherever you will go, I’m gonna go your way...

It took a long time to find this place;

(For the first time in my life, I see the sun and moon shining bright,)

It took a long time to see happy...

(And my life looks so much better than it ever did before...)

It took a long time to recognize your face;

(And though my heart’s been broken time or two before this time,)

It took a long time running around...

(I’m sure, I got a chance to see happy...)

Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey... (Took a long time, took a long time, took a long time...)

(Took a long time, took a long time,) Yeah! (Took a long time...)

(It took a long time to find this place;)

For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life

(It took a long time to see happy...)

For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy...

(It took a long time to recognize your face,)

For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life

(It took a long time, running around...)

For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy...

It took a long time to find this place;

(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life,)

It took a long time to see happy...

(For the first time in my life, I got a chance to see happy - I see happy...)

It took a lo-ho-ho, oh-ho-hong ti-i-i-ime to recognize...

(For the first time in my life, for the first time in my life,)
