All of My Life Lyrics by Phil Collins

The Platinum Collection

1989

[Verse 1]
All of my life, I've been searching
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 try to understand the best I can
All of my life
[Verse 2]
All of my life, I've been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have 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
[Chorus]
Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, 'cause I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember
And there's too much I need to say
[Verse 3]
All of my life, I've been looking (Looking)
But it's hard to find the way
Just reaching past the goal in front of me
While what's important just slips away
And it doesn't come back, but I'll be looking
All of my life
[Chorus]
Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
Set 'em up, 'cause I'm going nowhere
There's too much I need to remember
And there's too much I need to say, ah yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
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 that's a memory I will live with
All of my life, ah-ah
[Saxophone Solo]
