Intense anticipation of consummating friendship, being with someone sexually or marriage. Finally getting to make love with someone you've dreamed of for a long time. (This song placed in the GMIA songwriting finals, showcased on May 19, 2007.)

Lyrics

Long Time Coming

It?s been a long time comin?, being with you tonight
It seems like forever I?ve had you in my sight.
Many times I wondered just how it would be,
To feel your kiss upon my lips and your body close to me.

There?ve been times I noticed that you were watchin? me,
And I wondered if you knew or if you could even see
That in my heart I was prayin? that you?d ask me for a dance
And hopin? that you?d only give me half a chance.

Tonight I feel the passion that I have waited for,
I feel the fire burnin?, and now I?m only wanting more.
So Darlin? put your arms around me, and hold me through the night,
And let?s pretend that it?s forever, and that we?ll never say goodbye.

It?s been a long time comin?, waiting for your kiss,
I never could imagine that it would be as good as this.
As we lie here by each other I see that you are smilin? too,
As you feel the same fire burnin? with my body close to you.

Tonight I feel the passion that I have waited for,
I feel the fire burnin?, and now I?m only wanting more.
So Darlin? put your arms around me, and hold me through the night,
And let?s pretend that it?s forever, and that we?ll never say goodbye.

Tonight I feel the passion that I have waited for,
I feel the fire burnin?, and now I?m only wanting more.
So Darlin? put your arms around me, and hold me through the night,
And let?s pretend that it?s forever, and that we?ll never say goodbye.
Because it?s been a long time comin?, this fire deep inside.
