All My Life



Where have you been, all my life,
 I've been waiting for you oh so long;
Looking up into the stary night sky,
 With tears flowing down from my eyes;
Even though it was a long time ago,
 It was still hard to see you go;
Every night, I gaze into the stary night,
  Wondering if you're alright;
As the month and years come and go,
  I still remember the moments we shared;
I realized how much you meant to me,
  And it doesn't matter how far you are from me;
You're the only one that matters to me,
 For finally, after all these years, i can clearly see;
You're the only one for me.
