Watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand
Watching sea birds fly

Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

As lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met
And what makes it last

So many dreams to wake
And with so much love to make, yeah, yeah
I think we're gonna meet some time
Maybe all we need is time
