DOES HE NOT OR DOES HE LOVE 
PULLED DYING PETALS OUT
HE DID IT GENTLY WITH A GLOVE
 HE SAYS THERE IS NO DOUBT

TOGETHER OVER FORTY YEARS
BEEN THROUGH AN AWFUL LOT
BUT MEMORIES BEFORE THAT STEERS
THAT HE SHOULD LOVE ME NOT

AND UNTIL YOU, I NEVER KNEW
A LIFE LIKE THIS EXISTS
NOW I HAVE SEEN WHAT IT CAN DO
AND LIVE WHAT IT CONSISTS

THIS KIND OF LOVE I WASN'T SURE
THE THOUGHT STILL MAKES ME WEEP
RELATIONSHIP SO VERY PURE
NOT SURE ONE I COULD KEEP  

I DIDN'T TRUST, I DIDN'T CARE
FOR YEARS WAS ON MY OWN
MY MIND STILL WANTS TO TRAVEL THERE
BUT I WON'T GO ALONE

HE LOVES ME, YES HE LOVES ME 
AND YES, I LOVE HIM TOO
TELL ME AGAIN, SO I CAN SEE
ITS MEASUREMENT SO TRUE

STILL I AM WEAK AND AT A LOSS
AT TIMES, STILL NEED A CRUTCH 
HE SPEAKS AND HEALS ME FROM THE CROSS
I LOVE YOU CHILD, THIS MUCH!
