Scared I might lose you, I keep on telling you this
It all became clear in one moment of your bliss
I was a loner, kept hoping I’d find you along
Love passed my way, still without being strong

I once had a friend, he used to hold me and say
The day I’d find love he’d be a dead man

The feeling I get when you’re near
The touching that sets off my heartbeat
Facing the most beautiful fear
The nearness of you is what my heart’s been waiting for

I couldn’t help it, keeping my doors open wide
I was afraid, I had a fear to hide
All is forgotten, all the things I have said, thought and done
It's all in the past, now I know you’re the one

Love! Oh, love! What kept me waiting so long?
Now facing it all, know I was all wrong

The feeling I get when you’re near
The touching that sets off my heartbeat
Facing the most beautiful fear
The nearness of you is what my heart’s been waiting for
The feeling I get when you’re near
The touching that sets off my heartbeat
Facing the most beautiful fear
The nearness of you is what my heart’s been waiting for
