Lyrics:

Someday I'm gonna write,
The story of my life.
I'll tell about the night we met,
And how my heart can't forget
The way you smiled at me.

I like the world to know,
The story of my life.
The moment when your lips met mine,
And that first exciting time I held you close to me.

Chorus:
The sorrow when our love was breaking up.
The memory of a broken heart.
Then later on the joy of making up,
Never never more to part.

There's a one thing left to do,
Before my story's through.
I've got to take you for my wife,
So the story of my life can start and end with you.
