All My Life Lyrics

All of my life, yes all of my life
I've waited, waited, waited for you
I dreamed and dreamed and thought and schemed
For someone, someone, someone like you

Now that you're here, please my dear
Don't ever, ever, ever go

All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and longed for you so

Once a voice whispered inside me
Wait for someone who's true
Don't love another for love is forever
And no one else will do

Now that you're here, I'm happy my dear
I've waited, waited, waited, waited for you
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and dreamed of you

I've waited for you all of my life

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.
