lyrics
For the Love of You
Yeah, well, well, well
Yeah, yeah, hey, hey
Driftin' on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, yeah
Lovin' you, well, well, well
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candle lights
And a song, yeah
Soft and long, well
Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Sad to see a new horizon
Slowly comin' into view, yeah
I wanna be living for the love of you
Ah, yes I am
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Alright now
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me, yeah
My love and me, well
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well
When you're lovin' me
When you're lovin' me
Love to be right in the waves
Of your love enchanted with a touch
And it seems to me
We could sail together
In and out of mystery
Well, I wanna be living, for the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving, is for the love of you
You got me, girl
I wanna be living, for the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving, givin' is for the love of you
Oh, yes I am
Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key
Well, and this I see
Oh, I see
Now and then I lose my way
Using words that try to say
What I feel, yeah, love is real
Oh, love is real
I might as well sign my name
On a card which could say it better
Time will tell 'cause it seems
That I done just about all that I can do
I know that I'm livin', for the love of you
Oh, yes I am
I know that I'm livin', for the love, love of you
Every, everyday I, livin', for the love of you
I'm living, for the love
Each and every day, oh yes I do
I'm gonna say it one more time
Said, "I'm living, for the love
Each and every day, oh"
Lord, Lord knows I am right, right now
Said that, "I'm livin' for the love"

Human beings in a mob
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer?
Who don’t believe in anything?
We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild
Cherish the Day
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air
You show me how deep love can be
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I Cherish the Day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
Won't run away
