[Chorus: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes]
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
[Verse 1: Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes & Both]
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
[Pre-Chorus: Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes & Both]
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because
[Chorus: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes, Bill Medley]
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
[Verse 2: Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley]
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
No
Yes, I know what's on your mind
When you say
Stay with me tonight
(Stay with me)
[Pre-Chorus: Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes & Both]
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because
[Chorus: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes, Bill Medley]
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear it's the truth (I swear)
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes & Both]
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
[Chorus: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes, Jennifer Warnes, Bill Medley]
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before (Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth (It's the truth)
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I had the time of my life (The time of my life)
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
