Lyrics
I thought I’d have to wait for you forever
But now I know it’s better late than never
So, you’re the one! Well, how do you do
Well, I’m the one who waited for you
I wondered how I’d know you
My heart said, “Leave it to me”
And here you are, goes to show you
How smart a heart can be
So, you’re the one
Well, what do you know
Say, I’m the one who needed you so
I don’t know where you came from
But I’m awf’ly glad you’re here
Just like that, I loved you
So, you’re the one, my dear
