Mom was holding on as I was letting go
Not sure where I was headed to out 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 hills"
This world is bound to fail but our love never will

Chorus:
Lovin's what livin' is all about
It's the given not the taken that makes life worthwhile
When were livin' without lovin' were livin' without
Lovin's what livin' is all about

You could ask a dying man what he'd rather hold
a tender loving hand. or a pot of gold
Have you ever seen yourself in a newborn's eyes
I tell ya it's enough to make a tough man cry

Have you ever felt the healin' of a lover's touch
There's nothin' like the feelin' when you fall in love

Chorus

Love can bring the sweetest joy
Love can bring us to tears
Love can lead us through the fire
It's the reason we're here

Chorus

Lovin's what livin' is all about
