Billy Joel - All My Life lyrics
[Billy Joel - All My Life lyrics]
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 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
It cut me deeper than a knife
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 coulda known that finding you
Would only take me all my life
