Lyrics
All my life
I've searched this whole world through
Try as I might
To find someone like you
The years drifted by
But it was always on my mind
I didn't know 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?
