The song was released as a single in early 1990 and hit number 1 on the Billboard Adult contemporary chart (where it held for 3 weeks) as well as number 11 on both the Cash Box Top 100 and the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was another international hit for the duo. It reached #10 in Canada and Ireland. Due to radio airplay, the song was already in the Top 10 of Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart (which monitors airplay only)."All My Life" won the award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 1991 Grammy Awards.

Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Oh I asked for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

I never thought I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know I know

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life
