Shultz - Time Of My Life lyrics

rate me

He packed his bags when he was just 18<br />

To see a world he thought he'd never seen<br />

But he knew when he met her<br />

That she was the girl<br />

He'd been waiting for<br />

<br />

And each night they spent talking on the front porch swing<br />

Like it came straight out of a movie scene<br />

But one night she stepped out as the sun began to set<br />

And when she got to the porch she found a letter that read<br />

<br />

You're the only girl I'll ever love<br />

And I'd do anything not to give you up<br />

If I could only stop the world<br />

When you're standing by my side<br />

See I'm having the time of my life<br />

Yes, I'm having the time of my life<br />

<br />

The months went by it was their wedding day<br />

A church on a hill, wedding bells rang away<br />

She looked like a princess<br />

All dressed up in pearls<br />

It was her proudest day<br />

<br />

And he stood all alone in a darkened church hallway<br />

And he got down on his knees and he started to pray<br />

He thanked the Lord for his family and the perfect bride<br />

But he couldn't hold back what he was feelin' inside<br />

And he said<br />

<br />

She's the only girl I'll ever love<br />

And I'd do anything not to give her up<br />

If I could only stop the world<br />

When she's standing by my side<br />

See, I'm having the time of my life<br />

Yes, I'm having the time of my life<br />

<br />

Forty years went by and she lived most of God's plan<br />

She stood alone in an attic, wedding dress in her hand<br />

And she held an old letter written so long ago<br />

But she'd never forget it<br />

No matter how old<br />

<br />

And as she turned to put the dress away<br />

And pack up the years<br />

He was standing in the doorway<br />

With his eyes full of tears<br />

And he held her<br />

<br />

'Cause you're the only girl I'll ever love<br />

And I'd do anything not to give you up<br />

If I could only stop the world<br />

When you're standing by my side<br />

See I'm having the time of my life<br />

Yes, I'm having the time of my life
