Where Have You Been All My Life
It used to be
My life was like a puzzle in a million pieces
And it seemed
My purpose and my destiny were mysteries then
Girl you came
Into my life
And you brought my heart a one way ticket
Straight to paradise
And just where have you been all my life
Tell me where have you been all my life
Girl where have you been all my life
My life was like a story book of empty pages
But now I see
All the years I spent in waiting were preparing me for you
And it’s true
Love can make someone brand new
‘Cause I feel just like a newborn child
Whenever I’m with you
Tell me where have you been all my life
All my life I’ve been waiting
All my life I’ve been waiting
Where were you all my life?
Not too shabby. Singers struggle with the key in the chorus — wonder why they didn’t take it down a notch or two?

This song sounds like it could be a successful theme song for a rom com TV series.
