I won't spend my life, waiting for an angel to descend, Searching for a rainbow with an end, Now that I've found you I'll call off the search. And I won't spend my life, gazing at the stars up in the sky Wondering if love will pass me by Now that I've found you I'll call off the search Out on my own I would never have known This world that I see today And I've got a feeling It won't fade away And I won't end my days, wishing that love would come along, 'Cause you are in my life where you belong Now that I've found you I'll call off the search
