Where Have You Been All My Life

[Patrick]

I was lost, on my own
A dead end sign swayed in my road
I'd turn and toss, until the light
Just tryin to find that someone to hold
Yea
I've had my share, of cold and lonely nights
Guess I never wanted what I never needed
I knew you cared, cause when I held you tight well
You gave me something that I could believe in
You made me...say it...

Where have you been all my...
Where have you been all my life

You give me hope, a reason to stand
No need to question I know who I am
You're making me true, driving me mad
You're showin me the best days that I've ever had
Call it fate, a lucky roll of the dice
A guardian angel, a wish from a genie
You're in a place, where every word defies
You're in every thought girl, you're in every feelin
Well baby...baby...

Where have you been all my...
Where have you been all my life

Well some look forever, for some maybe never (no)
They live for the moment day by day
But I'll always treasure, our times together
Cause you made me see it, you made me say it

Where have you been all my...
Where have you been all my life

This is a big sweeping Ballad...

I had Bryan Adams in mind when I wrote it. I think that's a cool thing to do when writing...envisioning a Star singing your material.

The only 'sniff' that's bugged me forever, is that I'm marrying the word 'genie' with 'feeling'. But I suppose with the proper phrasing, it could be glossed over.
