The Way That I Love You

Watching morning light creep in And settle down upon your chin I leave you sleeping for a while Kiss your cheek and see you smile As we lay here on the bed Our whole lives lay ahead For now we sit here at the start Young love burning in our hearts Ooh they're burning Like a candle on a table set for two I am melting, burning on the whole night through No one sets my soul on fire the way you do They'll never love me The way that I love you Twenty years have come and passed How'd it all happen so fast? A house, a dog, a wedding ring In the yard the children sing Ooh and I sing Oh I need you like the ocean needs the moon To send the tides arise and crashing to the dunes Like the currents falling helpless to its pull I'm helpless too To the way that I love you Now that my hair has faded gray And I've lived out all my days Years have passed since you have gone You left me singing here alone Ooh so I sing I don't fear the day I'm called back up above Because I'll be standing back beside the one I love And when you miss someone as bad as I do You'd die just to be with them Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh My dear it's true, ooh There's nothing I won't do To prove the way that I love you Ooh And that's the way, the way Oh darling, that's the way Oh that's the way that I love you
