Lyrics

Hit and miss

If you want to know
why I miss you so
just think back to the first time
we were in love
The night was getting late
I recognised my fate
When you spoke
I awoke
We were in love

Waiting, I'd been waiting so long for this
Waiting, all my life had been hit and miss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life

Your solemn face, your eyes
lit up at this surprise
My heart sped, raced ahead
for we were in love

After that we stayed
together every day
I relaxed with the fact
that we were in love
so in love

Waiting, all my life had been hit and miss
Waiting to experience such a kiss
I knew in my heart this was only the start of a new life

Now if your heart is cold
and I seem too old
just think back to the first time
we were in love
so in love
We were in love
so in love

From

Before
