For the Love of You Lyrics

Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be than with you
Loving you
Day will make the way for night
All we'll need is candlelight and a song
Soft and long, well

Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Sad to see a new horizon
Slowly coming into view

I want to be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
You, you

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me, my love and me
Yea-yeah
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowing through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well, when you're loving me
Baby

Love to be
Riding the waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery

I wanna be living for the love of you
Baby (baby), baby
All that I'm giving (giving) is for the love of you
You, you, you

Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key and this I see, yeah
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try and say
What I feel, oh, yeah, love is real
I might as well
Sign my name on a card which could say it better
Say, time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done
Just about all that I can do
Do, do

I wanna be living for the love of you
And I know you want it for you more
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
My love for you, baby
I wanna be living for the love of you
I-I-, baby
All that I'm giving (giving) is for the love (for the love) of you
Better believe it (I wanna be)
I wanna believe it, for the love of you
(Of you, of you) all that I'm giving is for the love of you
(To you, you) I wanna be living (I wanna be living for the love of you)
I wanna be living for the love of you
Nobody else but you, babe
