Words and Music by Mark Schultz   From the recording: Song Cinema, Track #9.      He packed his bags when he was just 18   To see a world he thought he'd never seen   But he knew when he met her   That she was the girl   He'd been waiting for      And each night they spent talking on the front porch swing   And like it came straight out of a movie scene   But one night she stepped out as the sun began to set   When she got to the porch she found a letter that read      You're the only girl I'll ever love   And I'd do anything not to give you up   If I could only stop the world   When you're standing by my side   See I'm having the time of my life   Yes, I'm having the time of my life      The months went by it was their wedding day   A church on a hill wedding bells rang away   She looked like a princess   All dressed up in pearls   It was her proudest day      And he stood all alone in a darkened church hallway   He got down on his knees and he started to pray   He thanked the Lord for his family and the perfect bride   But he couldn't hold back what he was feelin' inside   And he said      She's the only girl I'll ever love   And I'd do anything not to give her up   If I could only stop the world   When she's standing by my side   See, I'm having the time of my life   Yes, I'm having the time of my life      Forty years went by and she lived most of God's plan   She stood alone in an attic, wedding dress in her hand   And she held an old letter written so long ago   But she'd never forget it   No matter how old      And as she turned to put the dress away   And pack up the years   He was standing in the doorway   With his eyes full of tears   And he held her      'Cause you're the only girl I'll ever love   And I'd do anything not to give you up   If I could only stop the world   When you're standing by my side   See I'm having the time of my life   Yes, I'm having the time of my life
