For This Day

here we are
face to face
it’s been a long time coming
to this place
can i sit here
and look at you for a while
it’s been a long time coming
to see your smile
to see your smile

now we’ve been miles and miles away
and i’ve been waiting far too long
for this day

here we are
hand in hand
it’s been a long time coming
across this land
you know i’ve missed you
but you may never know quite how much
it’s been a long time coming
to feel your touch
to feel your touch

and there’s such a lot i want to say
‘cause i’ve been waiting far too long
for this day

here we are
heart to heart
it’s been a long time coming
since our start
and you know my love for you
has never been quite so strong
it’s been a long time coming
to sing this song
to sing this song

and you alone you’re why i play
‘cause i’ve been waiting far too long
for this day

i’ve been waiting far too long
for this day
for this day
