Bill Medley:
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
Jennifer Warnes:
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
Bill Medley:
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
Jennifer Warnes:
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Both:
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
Bill Medley:
Just remember
Jennifer Warnes:
You're the one thing
Bill Medley:
I can't get enough of
Jennifer Warnes:
So I'll tell you something
Both:
This could be love (because...)
Both:
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've 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
Jennifer Warnes:
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Bill Medley:
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Jennifer Warnes:
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight"
Bill Medley:
Just remember
You're the one thing
Jennifer Warnes:
I can't get enough of
Bill Medley:
So I'll tell you something
Both:
This could be love (because...)
Both:
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've 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
Bill Medley:
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Jennifer Warnes:
Never felt this way
Bill Medley:
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Both:
'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
Both:
'Cause I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Till I've found the truth
And I owe it all to you
