When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
My legs work and my husband can still make my heart go pitter patter, but I can’t necessarily receive his love like I did before. My mind tells me I am not worthy of his love. My mind says he doesn’t mean what he says when his lips say “I love you.” My mind screams how could anyone love the mess you are? He would be so much better off without you.
And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Me – I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
But he does say “I love you” in a million ways. He says it when he sends me upstairs to get a break from mommying. He says it when he takes the girls for a bike ride so I can just sit with my thoughts. He says it as he allows me hours to exercise when he might want to relax too.
And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Me – I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
But he does say “I love you” in a million ways. He says it when he sends me upstairs to get a break from mommying. He says it when he takes the girls for a bike ride so I can just sit with my thoughts. He says it as he allows me hours to exercise when he might want to relax too.
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
He shows me his love by taking me in his arms as I sob out how much my mind hurts, how much my soul hurts. He shows his love by reminding me how much he wants me to fight to stay alive and how he’ll always be here to walk in the darkness with me.
When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don’t remember my name
When my hands don’t play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
‘Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen
And, baby, your smile’s forever in my mind and memory
I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it’s all part of a plan
I’ll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you’ll understand
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are…
When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don’t remember my name
When my hands don’t play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
‘Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen
And, baby, your smile’s forever in my mind and memory
I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it’s all part of a plan
I’ll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you’ll understand
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are…
I do find his love right where I am. Sitting in the darkness. Sitting in the light. I have his love no matter where I am.
