Time, I've been passing time Watching trains go by. All of my life, Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly. Wishing there would be Someone waiting home for me. Something's telling me it might be you It's telling me it might be you All of my life... Looking back as lovers go walking past All of my life, Wondering how they met and what makes it last. If I found the place, Would I recognize the face? Something's telling me it might be you. Yeah, it's telling me it might be you. So many quiet walks to take So many dreams to wake And we've so much love to make I think we're gonna need some time Maybe all we need is time And it's telling me it might be you All of my life I've been saving love songs and lullabies And there's so much more No one's ever heard before Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it must be you And I'm feeling it'll just be you All of my life It's you It's you I've been waiting for all of my life (Maybe) It's you (It's you) (Maybe) It's you (It's you) I've been waiting for all of my life (Maybe) It's you (It's you) (Maybe) It's you (It's you) I've been waiting for all of my life (Maybe) It's you (It's you) (Maybe) It's you (It's you) I've been waiting for all of my life
