Lyrics
Love Looks Like Now
Julie Blue 2004
Everything he owns is in the back of his van
He knows he has to drive away, he doesn?t have a plan
He sees three sad faces and hands waving goodbye
He turns - tries to smile at them as he starts to cry
This is the hardest thing he?ll ever do
The longest moment he?ll ever get through
But somehow this is what love looks like now
She?s sitting in her rocking chair rocking way too fast
All the kids were breastfed there back when she thought love would last
She?s angry, unsettled, she hasn?t begun to grieve
She never thought the hurtful things she said would make him leave
This is the hardest thing she?ll ever do
The longest moment she?ll ever get through
But somehow this is what love looks like now
This is what love looks like now this is what love looks like now
After all the stories have been told you never know what life will hold
This is what love looks like now
They?re still at the window watching Daddy drive away
They don?t know when they?ll see him again, after today
He told them they?re precious and he loves them so
But the fighting with their Mom was so bad he had to go
This is what love looks like now this is what love looks like now
After all the stories have been told you never know what life will hold
This is what love looks like now
Somewhere down the road I wonder will they find their way
To a place of forgiveness to a state of grace
This is what love looks like now this is what love looks like now
After all the stories have been told you never know what life will hold
This is what love looks like now
