The Time Of My Life
Dianna Agron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I've had 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 the time of my life
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 others 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
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
'Til I've found you're 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.

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
'Til I've found you're the truth
And I owe it all to you.





Now I've had the time of my life
