Verse:
I met her in a bookstore
Fate meant that we should
For she's the one I've looked for
And now I'm lost for good
Chorus:
My heart is taken.
I'm free no longer.
The cares of waiting
will drift away
I never thought that I
would ever see
The day I'd find the one
Just meant for me.
And I can see now
That it's forever.
I'll not be free now
The spell is cast
My dreams are over
I've found my love
My heart is taken
Taken at last.
