(I've Had) The Time of My Life
Artist: Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes
Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
Girl: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
Boy: I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
Girl: We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Both: Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Boy: just remember
Girl: You're the one thing
Boy: I can't get enough of
Girl: So I'll tell you something
Both:This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Girl: With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Boy: So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Girl: Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."
Boy: Just remember
You're the one thing
Girl: I can't get enough of
Boy: So I'll tell you something
Both: This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: 'Cause I had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you
*Instrumental*
Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
(Girl: Never Felt this way)
Boy: Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
Both: 'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you
Both: "cause I've had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Dirty Dancing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dirty Dancing is a 1987 romance film credited as being one of the most watched films of all time, particularly among women.[2] Written by Eleanor Bergstein, the film features Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jerry Orbach. The story details the moment of time that a teenaged girl crosses over into womanhood both physically and emotionally, through a relationship with a dance instructor during a family summer vacation. Approximately one third of the movie involves dancing scenes, and the finale has been described as "the most goosebump-inducing dance scene in movie history."[1][3]
Originally a low-budget film by a new studio and with no major stars (at the time), Dirty Dancing became a massive hit. It has earned $US 300 million worldwide, and was the first film to sell over one million copies on home video.[4] The Dirty Dancing soundtrack is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time, generating two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", which won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song, as well as a Grammy Award for best duet. In 2004, the film spawned a sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, as well as a stage version in 2005 which has had sellout performances in Australia, Germany, and the UK, and opened in its first North American city, Toronto, in November 2007. The 20th anniversary of the film's release was on August 21, 2007, and was marked with increased press attention,[4] a 20th-anniversary DVD, and a new Dirty Dancing computer game.
