When two strangers met by chance
To share a little warmth
In that crowded corner restaurant
'Neath that blinking traffic light
It didn't take too long to see
That love was at first sight
And from that moment on
They were together night and day
He finally got the nerve one night
To take her hand and say:
Chorus:
Where have you been all my life
When you could have been here by my side
I've had this love deep inside
Waiting for someone to give it to
I'm hoping that someone feels just like I do
So where have you been all my life
So many years had passed
And looking back they knew
That they made the right decision
What else could they do
How could they have raised a child
When they were kids themselves
A secret for so many years
Stayed locked upon the shelf
And then one cold rainy night
They had both just gone to bed
That secret knock upon their door
They opened then and she said
[Chorus:]
Where have you been all my life?
It was 1964 in a raging winter storm When two strangers met by chance To share a little warmth In that crowded corner restaurant 'Neath that blinking traffic light It didn't take too long to see That love was at first sight And from that moment on They were together night and day He finally got the nerve one night To take her hand and say: Chorus: Where have you been all my life When you could have been here by my side I've had this love deep inside Waiting for someone to give it to I'm hoping that someone feels just like I do So where have you been all my life So many years had passed And looking back they knew That they made the right decision What else could they do How could they have raised a child When they were kids themselves A secret for so many years Stayed locked upon the shelf And then one cold rainy night They had both just gone to bed That secret knock upon their door They opened then and she said [Chorus:] Where have you been all my life?
