Lyrics
You were my heart, you were my soul, you were my being.
You were my knowing, touching, hearing, and my seeing.
I didn't know myself, and didn't care to.
I wouldn't show myself; I didn't dare.
I was a child inside, tho' years showed on my face.
You led that hungry child, into a warm and loving place.
And there I blossomed and I grew,
Trusting the love that came from you.
Until one sad and lonely day
Your strength began to slip away.
I didn't know if we'd survive, if I had strength to get thru.
Could you believe in me, the way that I believed in you?
Now I'm your heart, now I'm your soul. now I'm your being,
Now I'm your knowing, touching, hearing, and your seeing.
And so I take good care of you,
Rememb'ring all the joys we've known
If I can ease your pain, I might not have to feel my own.
Now that the tables have been turned,
I long for lessons to be learned.
Together we'll survive,
If we can KEEP OUR LOVE... ALIVE.
