The Rest Of My Life
Wendy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find someone
To fulfill my every dream
One who can be a part of me
I can't take this much longer
I need to know
Are you the one I've been waiting for
To make me whole
[Chorus]
Holding you, wanting you
We laugh when we're together
I cry when we're apart
Touching you, kissing you
For the rest of my life
How can I be with someone else
When all I see is us
The only thing that runs through my mind
Is how I feel deep inside
When I feel the warmth of your body
My heart skips a beat
I can't believe that I'm falling in love
In love so deep
[Chorus x5]
