MY LOVE
When I was young and in my time I surely took my fill
I lived it on the line, scarred memories linger still
But the years have slowed me down, I'm fading by the day
Things I used to long for, don't mean that much today
Though it's strange how love grows
How it ebbs and it flows...
I have a light that shines for me, burning bright, burning endlessly
From the lunacy of youth to the normalcy of now
She loved me through it all she loved me anyhow
This flame has never died, this flame has never died.
And I for my own part I do the best I can
But I suffered from the sins that make a man a man
I shunned my wayward ways then started out anew
Now I'm seeing out my days in mindfulness with you
Though it's strange how love grows
How it ebbs and it flows...
I have a light that shines for me, burning bright, burning endlessly
Though fortune flares and fades in triumph and dismay
I loved her through it all I loved her anyway
This flame has never died, this flame has never died.
