The Time Of My Life

He packed his bags when he was just 18 To see a world he thought he'd never seen But he knew when he met her That she was the girl He'd been waiting for And each night they spent talking on the front porch swing Like it came straight out of a movie scene But one night she stepped out as the sun began to set And when she got to the porch she found a letter that read You're the only girl I'll ever love And I'd do anything not to give you up If I could only stop the world When you're standing by my side See I'm having the time of my life Yes, I'm having the time of my life The months went by it was their wedding day A church on a hill, wedding bells rang away She looked like a princess All dressed up in pearls It was her proudest day And he stood all alone in a darkened church hallway And he got down on his knees and he started to pray He thanked the Lord for his family and the perfect bride But he couldn't hold back what he was feelin' inside And he said She's the only girl I'll ever love And I'd do anything not to give her up If I could only stop the world When she's standing by my side See, I'm having the time of my life Yes, I'm having the time of my life Forty years went by and she lived most of God's plan She stood alone in an attic, wedding dress in her hand And she held an old letter written so long ago But she'd never forget it No matter how old And as she turned to put the dress away And pack up the years He was standing in the doorway With his eyes full of tears And he held her 'Cause you're the only girl I'll ever love And I'd do anything not to give you up If I could only stop the world When you're standing by my side See I'm having the time of my life Yes, I'm having the time of my life You're the only girl I'll ever love
