Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my Lord I've been searching for the love of my life (3x). I've been searching.
The very first time I met my love. (Ooh) Well it was just as if descended a dove (Song 1:15 & 2:14). Well I've been waiting my whole life for you to come along. (Ooh) And you put in my heart the melody for this song. (The melody for this song) (Song 1:1. And so I sing this song to you as I fall on my knees, (Aaah), I'm begging you to spend forever with me. And now we take our vows before God and man, (Aaah) united forever that's my Fathers plan (Aah) (Matt 18:4-6)
Oh my Lord I was searching for the love of my life (3x)
I was searching.
Everyday I fall more in love with you. OOOh. I hope that when you look at me you still feel that way to. (Aahh). And as the years go by- (Aahh) I hope that when I sing this song tears still fall from your eyes.
Oh my Lord, You've given me the love of my life (2X). You've given me the love, Yeah! You've given me the love of my life. Thank You Lord. You've given me the love. AAAH, AAAH (repeat). Said I don't need, oh, not a thing more, my Lord. Oh, not a thing more (repeat). (I) say thank you. My Lord. Thank you. All, all my, all my life, You are. All, all my, my life. You've given me, You've given me the love. You've given me the love. Yeah.

I have decided to wait for the love of my life, as guided by my Lord. I know that love shouldn't be rushed as it has its own time. I believe that a love like yours is the best there is.
Even though I am asleep my heart is awake (Song 3:1 & 5:2). (Aaah) And I will remain faithful for my Father's sake. No one likes the taste of tainted wine. (Aaah) A love like yours is so very, very hard to find. (Aaaah).
