Love of My Life
Clay Aiken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am amazed when I look at you,
I see you smiling back at me,
It's like all my dreams come true.
I am afraid if I lost you girl,
I'd fall through the cracks and lose my track,
In this crazy, lonely world.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
When my nights can be so long,
And faith gave me the strength,
and kept me going on.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you're my love...
The love of my life.

Now here you are,
With midnight closing in.
You take my hand as our shadows dance,
With moonlight on your skin.
I look in your eyes,
I'm lost inside your kiss.
I think if I'd never met you,
about all the things I'd missed.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
When a love can be so strong,
And faith gives me the strength,
and kept me holding on.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you're my love...
The love of my life.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you are my love...




My angel in the night, you are my love...
The love of my... life.

I absolutely loved your video. Love of My Life is definitely one of my favorite all time Clay song's (too bad there was never an official recording we could purchase of it, would have sold great), plus you have the best mix of old & new photos of Clay over the past 5 years up to the present showing his fun personality and craziness, as well as his sexy side. continued

I also like the 2nd song "Hold Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me", Clay would never have to ask so many times, as a matter of fact, he probably wouldn't even have to ask once. I would definitely hug and kiss him if I ever had the chance, and your video reminded of some of the many reasons why. Thanks for making this available. I'm definitely going to add this to my favorites.
