Billy Joel - All my life

All my life I've searched this whole world through
Try as I might to find someone like you
The years drifted by, but here was always on my mind
I didn't know just how long I'd go untill I ran out of time

All my life, I hurt the ones who cared
One by one, no loving heart was spared
I've been a wild, 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, pain
It cut me deeper than a knife
Ah, but those days are done, 'cause you're the one
I 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 miss the love I lost
Ah, 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
