Night falls
And you're in my dreams
So real
You're still here
Day breaks
And the hope that seems
So real
Seems to disappear
And I wake up with the missing words
That would have made you stay
And although I learned my lesson late
At least I'm on my way
But a voice inside me says
I should have been here yesterday
Ain't that just
The story of my life
After it's too late I find the key
Ain't that just
The story of my life
I pray it's not too late for you and me
I know
It will all work out
Someday
Lord knows when
Somehow
I will fight the doubt
Sheer will
Keeps me sane 'til then
When I look at the horizon
I can see you bright and clear
My mistakes are all behind me
A new chapters drawing near
And I may have missed the boat
But I can meet you at the pier
Ain't that just
The story of my life
Still no one knows what we're heading to
And I trust
The story of my life
Will have a happy end when I'm with you
This doesn't have to end up as a tragedy
Or need to be a melancholy tale
And though I never seem to choose the easy path
I try and fail
But we'll prevail
Ain't that just
The story of my life
It will all be worth what I've been through
For I trust
The story of my life
Will reach a happy end when I'm with you
Night falls
And you're in my dreams
It's the story of my life
It's the story of my life
