All My Life — Billy Joel

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.
