Lyrics
Time, I’ve been passing time
Watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand
Watching sea birds 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 with so much love to make, oh
I think we’re gonna meet 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, you too)
I’ve been waiting for all of my life
Maybe, it’s you (it’s you)
Maybe, 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)
Maybe, it’s you (I’ve been waiting)
