35 YEARS FOREVER AND A DAY AND IT ALL CAME DOWN TO THIS 
THAT NOTHING IN THIS WORLD'S GONNA LAST FOREVER AND 
PERFECT DOESN'T EXIST BUT EVERY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS GOT TO 
COUNT FOR SOMETHING AND IT'S FINALLY OFFERED UP IT'S 
PRIZE LIVING ALONE'S GOT TO MAKE YOU STRONGER...I KNOW 
BUT ONLY LOVE CAN MAKE YOU WISE 

WELL I'VE TAKEN SO MANY WRONG TURNS IN MY LIFE TO COME 
HOME TO THIS PLACE WITH YOU SLEEPING HERE BESIDE ME YOUR 
SOFT HAND RESTING ON MY FACE AND WHEN YOU WAKE I'LL SEE 
THE VERY BEST OF ME SHINING RIGHT THERE IN YOUR EYES YOU 
NEED ME AND THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW YOUR LOVE HAS MADE 
ME WISE 

SO I'D SELL MY SOUL AND STAND IN LINE TO HOLD YOUR PLACE 
IN HEAVEN CAUSE THE DAY I WAS BLESSED BY YOUR SACRED KISS 
I KNEW THAT ALL MY SINS HAD ALREADY BEEN FORGIVEN 

AT NIGHT I HOLD MY BABIES TO ME AND WHISPER IN THEIR HAIR 
IF THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH LOVE TO GO ROUND THEN I ALREADY 
GOT MY SHARE I GUESS I PRAYED SO HARD FOR A MIRACLE THAT 
GOD ANSWERED ME TWICE YES LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME ALL I NEEDED 
TO KNOW BUT LOVE, SWEET LOVE...LOVE SWEET LOVE LIFE WILL 
TEACH YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BUT ONLY LOVE...WILL MAKE 
YOU WISE
