All my life, without a doubt I give you
All my life, now and forever till the
Day I die, you and I will share

All the things this changing world can offer
So I sing, I'd be happy just to
Stay this way, spend each day, with you

There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time but then I chose to lay it on the line

I put the past away
I put the past away
I put the past away

All my life, I will carry you through
All my life, between each hour of the passing days
I will stay with you

There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time then I chose to lay it on the line

I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I wanted this all my life

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet)
Beckley's pledge-of-love ballad "All My Life" fared better, reaching #48 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "It got a lot of attention," he says. "I like that song. It's about devotion, and countless people have come up to me and told me it's their wedding song. I've felt that, somewhere along the line, it'll be covered and might be a hit for somebody. And when we play that song in the Philippines, they just start screaming."
