The Paper Chase (1973)

For the longest time I have been searching for the title, lyrics and a video of a song which I can hum once in a while. AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS I accidentally came across it while watching the classic movie "The Paper Chase". Call me emotional or maudlin but I did cry and spent the next hour searching the song. And so that I will never lose it again, I am posting it here. Love to John Williams - one of my favorite composers!

I Want To Spend My Life With You

Have you ever looked inside yourself
and found an empty space for happiness,
and could simply make no sense of it?
Now you're here and all the pieces fit;
Oh, what a lovely thing to do.
I want to spend my life with you.

Oh, my love, I don't know where this long
and winding road of life is leading us,
but I wish that we could take that ride.
We could bridge the narrow and the wide;
I'm not merely passing through.
I want to spend my life with you.

And if one tomorrow doesn't measure up a long the way,
Darling, we can always borrow a piece of yesterday.

Oh, my love, I don't know where this long
and winding road of life is leading us,
but I wish that we could take that ride.
We could bridge the narrow and the wide;
I'm not merely passing through.
I want to spend my life with you.
