Lyrics
I?ve Been Searching For You All Of My Life (My Song for Nilsi)
by Doug Adair © 2005
Intro: C B7 C B7 C B7 Em
Em Am
A long time ago a fortune teller took my hand
Em B7
Said I can tell you bout the future but you may not like the plan
Em Am
You will spend your whole life searching, you will travel distant lands
Em B7
Before you find the true love that your lonesome heart demands
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you day and night
C B7 A G
I?ve searched everywhere I could, searched in places bad and good
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
A G
I have struggled through the mountains, wandered aimless in the sands
C B7
I have suffered many heart aches I could never understand
A G
Now my lifelong journey?s over and my destiny?s at hand
C B7
You have suddenly appeared and the future looks so grand
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you day and night
C B7 A G
I?ve searched everywhere I could, searched in places bad and good
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 A G C B7 E
C B7 A G C B7 E
A G
I have struggled through the mountains, wandered aimless in the sands
C B7
I have suffered many heart aches I could never understand
A G
Now my lifelong journey?s over and my destiny?s at hand
C B7
You have suddenly appeared and the future looks so grand
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you day and night
C B7 A G
I?ve searched everywhere I could, searched in places bad and good
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you day and night
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
C B7 A G
I?ve been searching high and low, searching every where I go
C B7 Em
I?ve been searching for you all of my life
