Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life

Oh, yeah

...

Walking through time looking for an answer

How can it be this way?

What have I done? I just can't help but wonder

How everything could change?

'Cause you've turned my world around

Since you came along, no

After this love was found

It seems like we can't go wrong

Deep in my heart, I know there's only you

And right from the start, I always knew

I'll never let go 'cause I love you so

Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life

Mmm, mmm, oh yeah

...

Some people search what seems to be a lifetime

To find a love like this, oh, yeah

And here we are, with everything we wished for

I've never felt such bliss, oh, no

'Cause you've turned my world around

Since you came along

After this love was found

It seems like we can't go wrong

Deep in my heart, I know there's only you

And right from the start, I always knew

I'll never let go 'cause I love you so

Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life

Oh yeah, mmm, mmm

There comes a chance in everyone's life

And I believe it won't happen twice

Now since I've felt the glory of love

I wanna spend forever (And ever with you)

Deep in my heart, I know there's only you (Only you)

And right from the start, I always knew

I'll never let go 'cause I love you so (I'll never let go, I love you so)

Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life, oh

Deep in my heart, I know there's only you (Only you, only you)

And right from the start, I always knew

I'll never let go 'cause I love you so

(Oh, oh) I want you, eh, eh, eh

Deep in my heart

(Deep in my heart)

Oh oh, no

Oh, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I want you for the rest of my life (I want your love forever)

Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life

...
