Side A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just couldnt get you off my mind
All this time
I, I've known you all my life
I always knew
You'll always be a friend to me
You're there all this time
You opened up my eyes
Now I can see
That the one Ive been looking for
Was here
Right from the start
All this time
I've been searching for a love
That can make a brand new world
In my life
All this time
I've been searching for a love
But I've never really looked inside my heart
It was you all along
All this time
Now, now I understand
Why I always cared enough for you
All this time...
Oh you, lift me up when I am down
You gave me all the strength i need
When im weak
You turn my hopes up high
You were always there for me
You opened up my eyes
Now I can see
That the one Ive been looking for
Was here
Right from the start
All this time
I've been searching for a love
That can make a brand new world
In my life
All this time
I've been searching for a love
But I've never really looked inside my heart
It was you all along
All this time
You lift my soul up high
I can barely touch the sky
You bring out all the best
That I can ever be
All this time...
All this time
I've been searching for a love
no one in this world can take your place...
All this time
I've been searching for a love
That can make a brand new world
In my life
All this time
I've been searching for a love
Coz He's finally given you in my life
It was you all along
All this time
Oh its you.. Oh..
I love you all this time...
