All My Life

It was autumn when you watched me fall

And I was ready to risk it all

And you were tryin' to cut me off

When I told you the truth

But I had you right where I wanted you

What else was a boy to do?

So I confessed my love for you

With bated breath

Cause I waited for you for all my life

And if you need more time, babe I'll be alright

It was summer in mid-July

And we both felt the tension rise

When the nurse said we were out of time

And we parted ways

But I know that I'll see you for certain

On the other side of that curtain

And if I could take your hurt then

You know I would

Cause I waited for you for all my life

And if you're scared tonight, babe I'll hold you tight

It was autumn I fell for you

I could see that you were falling too

Since then I never doubted that your love was true

A single day of my life

So when my hands are cold and empty

And generations gather 'round me

I pray to God I won't be lonely

When I reach for you

Cause I waited for you for all my life

So when I'm out of time

I know you'll still be mine
