Lyrics

Now (F)I’ve

(Dm)had the time of my (Eb)life.

No, I nev er felt like this be (F)fore.

Yes, I (Dm)swear

it’s the (Eb)truth,

and I owe it all to you.

’Cause (F)I’ve

(Dm)had the time of my (Eb)life,

and I owe it all to you.

I’ve been (Eb)wait ing for so long; now I’ve fi n’lly found some one to stand by (F)me.

We saw the (Eb)writ ing on the wall as we felt this mag i cal fan ta (F)sy.

Now with (Eb)pas sion in our eyes there’s no way we could dis guise it se cret (F)ly.

So we (Eb)take each oth er’s hand ’cause we seem to un der stand the ur gen (F)cy.

Just re mem ber,

you’re the one thing

(Ab)I can’t get e nough of.

So I’ll tell you some thing:

this could be (C)love.

Be cause

I’ve had

the time of my (Eb)life.

No, I nev er felt this way be (F)fore.

Yes, I (Dm)swear

it’s the truth,

and I (Bb)owe it all to you.

With my (Eb)bod y and soul, I want you more than you’ll ev er (F)know.

So we’ll just let it go; don’t be a fraid to lose con trol.

Yes, I (Eb)know what’s on your mind when you say stay with me to (F)night.

Stay with me.

Just re mem ber, (Gm)owe it all to (Bb)you.

’Cause (F)I’ve

(Dm)had the time of my (Eb)life.

And I’ve searched through ev ’ry o pen (F)door

till I (Dm)found

the truth,

and I (Bb)owe it all to you.

(F)I’ve

(Dm)had the time of my (Eb)life.

No, I nev er felt this way be (F)fore.

Yes, I (Dm)swear

it’s the (Eb)truth

and I owe it all to you.
