Lyrics:

This song is featured on the Cadillac Records soundtrack; Beyonce takes the role of Etta James in the film and performs a number of songs from the singer’s catalogue.
This is just another day that I would spend
Waitin' for the right one
Staring at the night and wishin' I could be the one
To feel the warm sun

You're a dream, but I'm wide awake
I'm in Heaven, for Heaven's sake
So get ready (Get ready), I'm ready now (Get ready)
I could never need you more than now

You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love, you'll only find
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Tell me that you're living in a place
Where no one else can find you
Tell me that you're singin' out my name
Hoping that I'll hear you

Tell me 'no' and I'll fade away
But this is lovin' that I won't waste
So get ready (Get ready), I'm ready now (Get ready)
I could never need you more than now

You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love, you'll only find
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

What are the words I'm needin' to hear?
How do I know if I'll ever love again?
Seeing your face makes everything clear (Clear)
Clear and I'll never be the same

You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
Hold on to you tight
For once in my life
You were worth the waiting for
You, the one that I adore
This kind of love, you'll only find
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
