I used to wander always wondering br What this life was for and what it would bring br Never knowing and too often hurting br Not yet seeing for whom I was searching br br Every day was a mystery looking br For the girl I knew my heart was pining br And, just when I thought the dream was fading br She came in my life, sending me reeling br br And, finally I know about true love br Each step I take, in happiness and strife br Has a purpose and joy along the way br And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life' br br Now I've met her every day brings singing br And every night brings this endless dreaming br Of life together and church bells ringing br A life of love sets my heart to spinning br br Yes, finally I know about true love br Each step I take, in happiness and strive br Has a purpose and joy along the way br And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life' br br So, fairy tales are real for those wishing br For knights with burnished armor, bright shining br Or maidens in distress needing saving br Happily ever-afters are waiting br br Though the knights may look different in this world br And maidens may be hurt from years of lies br Never stop pursuing dreams of true love br When you find it, it's worth a million tries br br Yes, finally I know about true love br Each step I take, in happiness and strive br Has a purpose and joy along the way br And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life'br br Danny Speicherbr br
