love is everything

if i should live to be one-hundred
i still shall not forget
the love that lives inside of me
the one that never quits

i found a touch of heaven
in the brush of his finger tips
there was magic in the soft words
he whispered with tender lips

to a woman love is everything
she puts her whole heart in it
and even when all hope is gone
her mind still dabbles in it
