What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Lyrics

what are you doing the rest of your life?
north and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
that you spend it all with me

all the seasons and the times of your days
all the nickels and the dimes of your days
let the reasons and rhymes of your days
all begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
in fields of dawn and forests of the night
and when you stand before the candles on a cake
oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
and the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
it may take a kiss or two

through all of my life
summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
all I ever will recall of my life
is all of my life with you...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I agree, Poison. This song reminds me of old black and white movies where it ends with the guy kissing the girl under the moonlight or something. For me, it's like I can picture a young couple, at the beginning, meeting at a swanky bar. Then at the end they're content in their old age with having spent their lives together. It's about giving your whole self to someone. The first and last lines are my favorite. It's like, devoting your entire existence to loving someone else and the memories you keep are like a shrine to the moments you experienced together. Incredibly romantic, in my opinion. This is also, by far, my favorite version of this song.
