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
