Did you spend your July in 2009

Chasin' all of your dreams down

A long way from your hometown?

Did you fall hard in some spring break bar

On a beach in Daytona

Drunk on love and Corona?

What did you do with all your hours and your minutes?

Thank God, they were bringin' you to me 'cause

Right when I met you, girl, my world started spinnin'

Time slowed down, all I could think was

What took you so long?

Where you been all my life?

What road were you on

That led your heart to mine?

Who were you before you were in my arms?

Baby, I gotta know

What took you so long?

Now I'm never lettin' you go

Oh, but if it had been up to me then

We'd have met a lot sooner

But God knew what he was doin'

Girl, I wasn't ready but I'm ready now

Forever took forever but now I just wanna slow it down

What took you so long?

Where you been all my life?

What road were you on

That led your heart to mine?

Who were you before you were in my arms?

Baby, I gotta know

What took you so long?

Now I'm never lettin' you go

Now every morning that I'm wakin' up beside you

Sunshine kissin' on your skin

I can't believe that heaven ever let me find you

I've said it before and I'll say it again

What took you so long?

Where you been all my life?

What road were you on

That led your heart to mine?

Who were you before you were in my arms?

Baby, I gotta know

What took you so long?

Now I'm never lettin' you go
