The Search Is Over
"The Search Is Over" is a 1985 song by the American rock band Survivor. It charted on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #4 during the week of July 13, 1985, and remained on the chart for fourteen weeks in total. It was the band's third single and second top-ten hit from their 1984 album Vital Signs. The song also spent four weeks atop the adult contemporary chart, Survivor's only chart-topper on this tally. Former keyboardist/guitarist for the band and co-songwriter Jim Peterik told Songfacts: "It wasn't about my life as much as a friend of mine who had a girlfriend - really a play pal throughout their growing up years - and never thought it could be anything more than that. It was looking him straight in the face that this was the girl of his destiny, and he looked everywhere to find that dream girl only to come back to the sandbox."

The Search is Over
by: Rachelle Ann Gohow can i convince you
what you see is real
who am i to blame you
for doubting what you feel
i was always reachin'
you were just a boy
i knew i took for granted
the friend i have in you
i was living for a dream
loving for a moment
taking on the world
that was just my style
now i look into your eyes
i can see forever
the search is over
you were with me all the while
can we last forever
we'll we fall apart
at times it's so confusing
the questions of the haert
so if you ever loved me
and patiently you'd wait
till i came to my senses
through some miracle of faith
i was living for a dream
loving for a moment
taking on the world
that was just my style
now i look into your eyes
i can see forever
the search is over
you were with me all the while
now the miles stretch out behind me
loves that i have lost
broken hearts lie victims of the game
then good luck
it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
every highway's leading me back to you
now at last i hold you
now all is said and done
the search has come full circle
our destinies are one
so if you ever loved me
show me that you gave a damn
you'll know for certain
the girl i really am
i was living for a dream
loving for a moment
taking on the world
that was just my style
when i touched your hand
i could hear you whisper
the search is over
