  • I've been waiting for my dreams
    To turn into something
    I could believe in
    And looking for that magic rainbow
    On the horizon
    I couldn't see it until I let go
    Gave into love
    And watched all the bitterness burn
    Now I'm coming alive
    Body and soul
    And feelin' my world start to turn

    And I'll taste every moment
    And live it out loud
    I know this is the time,
    This is the time
    To be more than a name
    Or a face in the crowd
    I know this is the time
    This is the time of my life
    Time of my life

    Holding onto things that vanished
    Into the air
    Left me in pieces
    But now I'm rising from the ashes
    Finding my wings
    And all that I needed was there all along
    Within my reach
    As close as the beat of my heart

    And I'll taste every moment
    And live it out loud
    I know this is the time,
    This is the time to be
    More than a name
    Or a face in the crowd
    I know this is the time
    This is the time of my life
    The time of my life

    And I'm out on the edge of forever
    Ready to run
    Keeping my feet on the ground
    Arms open wide,
    Face to the sun

    And I'll taste every moment
    And live it out loud
    I know this is the time,
    This is the time to be
    More than a name
    Or a face in the crowd
    I know this is the time,
    This is the time of my life, my life
    More than a name
    Or a face in the crowd
    I know this is the time,
    This is the time of my life,
    (Na na na na na, na na na na na)
    This is the time of my life,
    (Na na na na na)
    The time of my life,
    Time of my life. Publisher: WORLDSONG INC

  • Gene from Cleveland, Tn@Steve. The song is supposed to be cliche - that is what wins songwriting contests when young teenage girls are the ones voting. ...and it worked too, didn't it. Reg has said that he liked David Cook's rock vibe and hoped that a record producer didn't hang some clitchey pop song around his neck. Little did he know he was going to be the perpetrator of such by way of David winning the competition. It hasn't done too badly and apparently many like it because it has now gone double-platinum.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnThis song is a lot better than No Boundaries.
  • Jake from Onida, SdI think that this is is amazing. David Cook is my favorite artist!!
  • Krista from Carbondale, PaDavid Cook is the best winner to ever come out of American Idol and I am a complete FANATIC! TOML should be a graduation song in my opinion! :)
  • Steve from Trumbull, CtThis song is pure drek. It is so cliche and contrived it is rediculous. The music business in in a deathroll. What a joke.
  • Alex from Small Town, IlI love this song... every time i hear it i have to sing to it cuz its so awesome
  • Evie from Sweet Valley, PaI abosolutely love this song! And I'm admittedly "Cook"ed on Contact!
  • Caz from Minnesota, Mnthis is me and my girl friends song..... :)
