(I've Had) The Time Of My Life - Bill Medley
Dirty Dancing · Original Soundtrack
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
(CHORUS)
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
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 whats 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
(CHORUS)
Both: '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
'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
*Instrumental*
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

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 had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you
