Too Much Love

Can we ever possess too much love
Can it ever possibly be true
That as the years fly relentlessly by
And the remaining years are few

We try to squeeze out every last ounce
Of love till that ultimate day
Till we actually burst at the very seams
And our emotions are out on display

When I was a very much younger man
And life felt like a forever thing
Never questioned it, gonna live forever
Life was one big happy fling

Then the realization that as we grow older
Love is more important to us
The one thing that drives us human beings
Love is much more than lust

Too much love? It's never ever enough
Spread your feelings far and wide
Until you take that penultimate breath
Don't keep love wrapped up inside
