All My Life Songtext
von Billy Joel

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?
