I've knocked on every door on this endless street
I've looked in every face that I would meet
I've followed fading shadows,
I've chased the setting sun
Hoping that my searching would at last be done
And I said,
you're the love of my life
After all the lonely strife
I got down on one knee,
said,
please will you marry me?
You smiled, that smile
wiped a tear from your eye
I don't know the mysteries of how the stars align
I just know the moment that your hand fit into mine
It was like a puzzle piece I'd been carrying all
along Finally found the place where it belonged
And I said, you're the love of my life
After all the lonely strife
I got down on one knee,
said,
please will you marry me?
You smiled, that smile
wiped a tear from your eye
We could have met at twenty But we weren't who we are
We had some growing up to do We had to travel far
To be the kind of people Who could make a promise stand
To truly understand The weight of holding someone's hand
And I cried,
you're the love of my life
The end of all my strife
I got down on one knee,
shouted,
please will you marry me?
You laughed,
that laugh said yes And you were mine
It's about time
My love
It's about time
