Tom Jones - Heavens Been A Long Time Comin' lyrics

I made a mistake or two Even played the perfect fool I know how it feels to lose Everything you put your heart into I cried lonely tears in vain Thought I'd never love again But all the hurt that I've been through Has only led me straight to you [Chorus] Heaven's been a long time coming Yes, it has Oh, but, baby, you were worth the wait I wanna give you all my loving For however long it takes There were times I could not see The answer right in front of me Blinded by my selfish needs Till I finally sang to the I was lost without a prayer The day you found me there But now I'm living proof Of what an angel's touch can do Heaven's been a long time coming Long time coming Oh, but, baby, you were worth the wait I finally put an end to all my running Baby, lead me through that gate Now listen to this Look up, look up Oh, the sky's the limit With no more life without you in it You're my love, my heart My soul, my life; I can't live without you [Chorus] Heaven's been a long, long, long time coming Oh, but, baby, you were worth the wait I finally put an end to all, to all my running So, baby, lead me through, lead me through, through that gate
