Mama's holding on as I was letting go
Not sure where I was heading to, well, on my own
I remember all the power of my father's words
Long after they were spoken, they could still be heard
He said, "Life's not quite as simple out beyond these fields
This world is bound to fail you but our love never will"Lovin's what livin's all about
It's the giving, not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're livin' without loving
We're living without
Lovin's what livin's all aboutYou can ask a dying man what he'd rather hold
A tender loving hand or a heart of gold
Have you ever seen yourself in a new born's eyes?
I tell you it's enough to make a tough man cry
Have you ever felt the healing of a lover's touch?
There's nothing like the feeling when you fall in loveLovin's what livin's all about
It's the giving, not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're livin' without loving
We're living without
Lovin's what livin's all about
Lovin's what livin's all aboutLove can bring the sweetest joy
Love can bring us to tears
Love can lead us through the fire
It's the reason we're hereLovin's what livin's all about
It's the giving, not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're livin' without loving
We're living without
Lovin's what livin's all about
Lovin's what livin's all about
