Lyrics:

[English]

Bill Medley and 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

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

just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

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

'Cause I had the time of my life

No I've never felt this way before

Yes I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

Hey baby

Oh, yeah

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

Yes I know whats on your mind

When you say:

"Stay with me tonight."

Just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

'Cause I've had the time of my life

No I've never felt this way 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've searched through every open door

Till I found the truth

And I owe it all to you
