All My Life

All my life

I've searched this whole world through.

Try as I might

To find someone like you.

Years drifted by

But it was always on my mind.

I didn't know just how long I'd go

Until I ran out of time.

All my life

I've hurt the ones who cared.

One by one

No loving heart was spared.

I've been a wild and restless man

But still a man who needs a wife.

That was my dream and now it seems

You've taken all my life.

For as long as I could

My intentions were good.

I assumed my affairs

Would be fine.

But I know very well

There's a long road to hell

That's been paved with

Intentions like mine.

All my life

I've paid for my mistakes.

After a while

The strongest spirit breaks.

I've had heartache and pain

That cut me deeper than a knife.

Ah, but those days are done

'cause you're the one

I've wanted all my life

And I know very well

There's a long road to hell

That's been paved with

Intentions like mine.

All my life

My stars were surely crossed.

Now and then

I missed the love I lost.

But all that changed

The day you said you'd be my wife.

Who could have known

That finding you would only take me

All my life.
