Your Love's Been A Long Time Coming
Elvis Presley · Essential Elvis Volume 5: Rhythm And Country [1998]
The first time I held you, your soft lips and blue eyes
Were as far as my eyes could see
Yes here in my arms I knew I had found the reason that I'm living for
And I felt the feeling, such a wonderful feeling
That I'd never felt before
Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby your love's got a hold on me
Baby your love's sure got me humming
Baby your love's been a long time coming
Deep in my heart there's a feeling I never knew
Until I saw a love that was there in you
I'm gonna tell everyone what good love can do
Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby your love's got a hold on me
Baby your love's sure got me humming
Baby your love's been a long time coming
Baby, you're love's been a long time coming
Baby your love's got a hold on me
