The Time of My Life (Dirty Dan
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time of my life
No I never felt
Like this before
Yes I swear
It's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing
On the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion
In our eyes
There's no way
We could disguise it
Secretly
So we take
Each other's hand
'Cause we seem
To understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
This way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than
You'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid
To lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say
Stay with me tonight
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
This way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had
The time of my life
And I've searched through
Every open door
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
This way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had
The time of my life
No I never felt
This way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had
The time of my life
And I've searched through
Every open door
Till I've found the truth

Now I've had
After a long wait, finally obtained a special experience
The time of my life
A momentous occasion that will never be forgotten
No I never felt
This is a unique emotion that has never been experienced before
Like this before
This is not a common and recurring feeling
Yes I swear
This is truly what happened
It's the truth
This is a genuine and honest experience
And I owe it all to you
You have played a key role in making this happen
'Cause I've had
The reason why this event occurred is that
I've been waiting for so long
I have been patiently anticipating this event
Now I've finally found someone
I have finally met a special person
To stand by me
To provide support during this experience
We saw the writing
We detected the signs indicating
On the wall
In the environment around us
As we felt this magical
When we experienced a captivating feeling
Fantasy
A mental approximation of an ideal experience
Now with passion
Currently with a strong and fervent emotion
In our eyes
Visible in our gaze
There's no way
This is not something that can be concealed
We could disguise it
We cannot pretend that it is not happening
Secretly
Without anyone else knowing
So we take
We move forward by
Each other's hand
Holding hands
'Cause we seem
Because it appears that
To understand the urgency
We recognize the importance of acting immediately
Just remember
Don't forget
You're the one thing
You are the most important thing
I can't get enough of
I want more and more of you
So I'll tell you something
I will confide in you
This could be love
This might be an amorous relationship
Hey baby
Affectionate address to the other person
With my body and soul
With my entire being
I want you more than
I desire you excessively
You'll ever know
You cannot fathom the extent of my attraction
So we'll just let it go
We will allow ourselves to surrender to our emotions
Don't be afraid
Do not have apprehension
To lose control
To abandon self-restraint
Yes I know what's on your mind
I understand your thoughts and intentions
When you say
When you express
Stay with me tonight
Spend the night with me
And I've searched through
I have explored every
Every open door
Opportunity available
Till I've found the truth
Until I discovered what was genuine and real
