Time... I've been passing time watching trains go by All of my life Lying on the sand watching sea birds fly Wishing there would be Someone waiting home for me Something's telling me it might be you It's telling me it might be you All of my life Looking back as lovers go walking past All of my life Wondering how they met and what makes it last If I found the place Would I recognize the face Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it might be you So many quiet walks to take So many dreams to make And with so much love to make I think we're gonna meet some time Maybe all we need is time... And it's telling me it might be you All of my life I've been saving love songs and lullabies And there's so much more No one's ever heard before Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it must be you And I'm feeling it'll just be you all of my life It's you, it's you I've been waiting for all of my life Maybe it's you (it's you), maybe it's you (it's you) I've been waiting for you all of my life Maybe it's you, maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life

The Bergmans are recognized as one the most successful lyric writing teams in history. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1980. They have enjoyed multiple songwriting accolades, including an Oscar for “The Windmills of Your Mind” (1968). In an interview, Alan Bergman recalled how he met his wife,
I was writing with a composer in the mornings and she was writing with the same composer in the afternoons, and one day he decided to introduce his morning lyric writer to his afternoon lyric writer. We met, and wrote a song that same day. Not a very good song, but we enjoyed the process. That was in 1956, and we’ve been together ever since.Alan further elaborated on their songwriting process,
The process is like pitching and catching. One is the creator and the other is the editor, and those roles switch from moment to moment. The words have to sit on the notes so that singers can sing them well. So if a word doesn’t sit on the note, we can’t use it.
