Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right nowDon't it feel like something from a dreamYeah I've never known nothing quite like thisDon't it feel like tonight might never be againWe know better than to try and pretendBaby no one coulda ever told me 'bout thisI said yeah yeahChorusThe waiting is the hardest partEvery day you see one more cardYou take it on faith, you take it to the heartThe waiting is the hardest partWell yeah I might have chased a couple women aroundAll it ever got me was downThen there were those that made me feel goodBut never as good as I'm feeling right nowBaby you're the only one that's ever known howTo make me wanna live like I wanna live nowI said yeah yeahChorusThe waiting is the hardest partEvery day you get one more yardYou take it on faith, you take it to the heartThe waiting is the hardest partOh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to youDon't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to youI'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' foolDon't let this go too farDon't let it get to you
