Lyrics

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 It took a long time to see HAPPY It took a long time to recognize your face It took a long time running around Nothing good COMES easy Nothing makes it past No one ever made love O-o-oh not to last So it took so many, many years to meet 'Til we came together I was incomplete Yes I was I won't be divided 'The next few lines I can't hear really well' 'But the sound as follows' "Tell me not my skin" "Spirit all won't matter" "Let my Angel be it" You're the place of worship You're the place I stay Wherever you will go I'm gonna go your way 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
