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 take me
All my life
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 take me
All my life
