Love Is All There Is

Love is all there is

Every day you would be- there for me...
now, I live with my regret...
I always thought we'd have another day
-Crooked fate you don't expect-

Chorus 1
We all need to understand,
that, love is all there is,
that's- all there is...
'Cause, when they're gone,
they are gone forever
Yeah, when they're gone 
they are gone forever, forever, forever

So many question what it's all about...
it's all about love...
Nothing else in life-really matters
-you can never get enough-

Chorus-2

We all need to understand,
to love while you still can,
Love while you can...
'Cause when they're gone,
they are gone forever
Yeah, they're gone 
they are gone forever, forever, forever

I sit alone now shackled- to my shame...
-the stars won't even shine-
I wonder what fate has in store for me
-I wonder if there's time-

Chorus 1
We all need to understand,
that, love is all there is,
that's- all there is...
'Cause, when they're gone,
they are gone forever
Yeah, when they're gone 
they are gone forever, forever, forever

repeat chorus fade
