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.
