Labelle - It Took A Long Time 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
(For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life)
It took a long time to see happy
(For the first time in my life
I got a chance to see happy)
It took a long time to recognize your face
(For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life)
It took a long time running around
(For the first time in my
Life - running around)
Nothing good comes easy
Nothing makes it fast
No one ever made love overnight to last
So it took so many, many years to meet
'Til we came together, I was incomplete

Yes, I was! (Took a long time
Took a long time) yeah! yeah heah heah heah
(Took a long time)
(Took a long time, took a long time
Took a long time)

(It took a long time to find this place)
Love won’t be divided - helped
Me find my space
(It took a long time to see happy)
Spirit over matter - felt my angel near!
(It took a long time to recognize your face)
You’re the place I worship
You’re the place I’ll stay
(It took a long time, running around)
Wherever you will go, I’m gonna go your way

It took a long time to find this place
(For the first time in my life
I see the sun and moon shining bright)
It took a long time to see happy
(And my life looks so much better
Than it ever did before)
It took a long time to recognize your face
(And though my heart’s been broken time
Or two before this time)
It took a long time running around
(I’m sure, I got a chance to see happy)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
(Took a long time, took a long time
Took a long time, Took a long time
Took a long time) yeah! (Took a long time)

(It took a long time to find this place)
For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life
(It took a long time to see happy)
For the first time in my life
I got a chance to see happy
(It took a long time to recognize your face)
For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life
(It took a long time, running around)
For the first time in my life
I got a chance to see happy

It took a long time to find this place
(For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life)
It took a long time to see happy
(For the first time in my life
I got a chance to see happy - I see happy)
It took a lo-ho-ho
Oh-ho-hong ti-i-i-ime to recognize
(For the first time in my life
For the first time in my life)
