The Story of My Life

Night falls

And you're in my dreams

So real

You're still here

Day breaks

And the hope that seems

So real

Seems to disappear

And I wake up with the missing words

That would have made you stay

And although I learned my lesson late

At least I'm on my way

But a voice inside me says

I should have been here yesterday

Ain't that just

The story of my life

After it's too late I find the key

Ain't that just

The story of my life

I pray it's not too late for you and me

I know

It will all work out

Someday

Lord knows when

Somehow

I will fight the doubt

Sheer will

Keeps me sane 'til then

When I look at the horizon

I can see you bright and clear

My mistakes are all behind me

A new chapters drawing near

And I may have missed the boat

But I can meet you at the pier

Ain't that just

The story of my life

Still no one knows what we're heading to

And I trust

The story of my life

Will have a happy end when I'm with you

This doesn't have to end up as a tragedy

Or need to be a melancholy tale

And though I never seem to choose the easy path

I try and fail

But we'll prevail

Ain't that just

The story of my life

It will all be worth what I've been through

For I trust

The story of my life

Will reach a happy end when I'm with you

Night falls

And you're in my dreams

It's the story of my life
