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
|
And like it came straight out of a movie scene
|
But one night she stepped out as the sun began to set
|
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
|
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
|
