Let me live with love (and die with you)

Honey sit down let me tell you what I'm thinking
The story I remember as a kid
About a man who tried to tell his wife he loved her
And the strong and simple heart felt way he did

He said I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings
And the strenght to work and live the way I do
And then I asked my two most wanted wishes
Let me live with love and die with you
[ piano ]
Now the woman in that story was my mama
So I'm passin' on a family legacy
And when I tell you that I feel just like my daddy
And every night I fall down on my knees

And I thank the Lord...
Yes let me live with love and die with you
