She is 1986, walking on the tips of her toes
she's got magic on her lips, i swear on a summer's night she glows
she moves in pirouettes like a dancer all around me

i swear i won't forget, not a glance at her or the way that we came to be

she is what i've been waiting for

she is what i've been waiting for
she is golden, priceless, all i want and more
she is what i've been waiting for


the moment that she wakes from sleep
the way she looks at me, more beautiful that i could dream

she means everything to me
her eyes are heaven sent like star light all around me
all poised and elegant

i got her the way it's meant to be

she is what i've been waiting for

she is what i've been waiting for
she is golden, priceless, all i want and more
she is what i've been waiting for


say it with me, we won't settle for less
we know what we have is best

it's just the way that we are (it's just the way that we are)
say it with me, we won't settle for less
we know what we have is best

it's just the way that we are

She is 1986, walking on the tips of her toes

she's got magic on her lips, i swear on a summer's night she glows
she is what i've been waiting for
it's just the way that we are

she is what i've been waiting for
it's just the way that we are
she is what i've been waiting for

it's just the way that we are
she is what i've been waiting for


she is what i've been waiting for
