All of My Life

Phil Collins · Platinum Collection [2004]

All of my life, I've been searchin

For the words to say how I feel.

I'd spend my time thinking too much

and leave too little to say what I mean

But I've tried to understand the best I can

All of my life . . .



All of my life, I've been saying sorry

for the things I know I should've done

All the things I could have said, come back to me

Sometimes I wish that it had just begun.

Seems I'm always that little too late

All of my life . . .



Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you

Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay

Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere

There's too much I need to remember

And there's too much I need to say



All of my life, I've been looking

but it's hard to find the way

Just reaching past the goal infront of me

While whats important just slips away

And it doesn't back but I'll be lookin

All of my life.



Set 'em up . . .



All of my life there have been regrets

that I didn't do all I could

playing records upstairs while he watched tv

I didn't spend the time I should

And it's a memory I will live with

All of my life
