Story Behind The Song
I was thinking about a girl that I used to know on the east coast and when I moved to the west coast I decided to let go of pursuing the relationship thinking that maybe coming to the West coast would show me some new womand that I would admire care for just as much. Then after 4 years I decided to temporarily move back to the east coast and in the process realized that out of all the women I'd met on the west coast this girl on the east coast was still the most special woman I'd ever met. The catch now was would she even talk to me? Was she in a relationship? Turns out she wasn't in a relationship and that's the genesis of the song
Song Description
Song starts with the regret of letting one special girl get away. It's an aha moment that she was the one after all and that I'd been trying to replace her with other people and hadn't been able to. And that I simply need to stop looking for a substitute and go after the real thing. The song progress to a discovery that no one else has married her and that it must be providence and that she's been saved for me. Then the song speaks to the bold action I must take. Gotta move out now no more wondering, no more doubt. Also there is a realization that I can't mess this chance up. It ends with a realization that yes I'm pretty sure she is the "Love of a Lifetime".

Lyrics
Verse 1
Can't explain what went wrong
Why I waited to move for so long
There you were, just for me
How could I be so blind and not see
Cuz it's real and it's true
How I feel... About you
No more searchin' to replace
My memories of you with another face
Chorus
Could you be the one for me
Oh I, I gotta know
Girl you, you just might be the love
Love of a Lifetime
Verse 2
Don't know how, no one else
Hasn't put a ring on you for himself
Can't they see, what I see
Or has the best been saved just for me
Cuz it's real and it's true
How I feel... About you
Not gonna miss it, not this time
Got one last chance to make you mine
Bridge
I'm not gonna waste another day of my life
No more wonderin', no more doubt
The truth about you must come out
Chorus (2x)
Could you be the one for me
Yeah I, Yes I think I know
Girl you, you just might be the love
Love of a Lifetime
fade out adlib
In my heart there no words
Just a song to be heard
La, la, la, la, la, la, lahahaha, oooh heaaeaae
La, la, la, la, la, la, lahahaha, oooh heaaeaae
