Lyrics
This Love
c.1997 Ashland Miller
(chorus 1)
Make me laugh, make me cry, do anything
Just let me know that you?re still alive
And by my side
Hold me tight if you know
That this love is still alive
Well I walk to meet you and I talk
But you don?t greet the love in my eyes,
You don?t even sympathize
And your gaze makes me weak
Realizing the promises that you don?t keep
(pre-chorus)
Will this ever change, or am I to blame
For holdin? on to something I feel so strongly about
What?s going wrong with what I can?t stand to live without
(chorus 2)
Make me laugh, make me cry, do anything
Just let me know that you?re still alive
And by my side
Hold me tight if you know
That this love hasn?t died
Well, I give you the love that you need
But I need more
Than just having you here with me
I can?t make you understand
That our salvation lies in the plan
That brings us together, without ?nevers?,
We could walk without strife
But for now all I ask is could you
Make me laugh
(chorus 3)
Make me laugh, make me cry, do anything
Just let me know that you?re still alive
And by my side
Hold me tight if you know
That this love has survived
Oh, this bed?s so wide
Hold me tight if you know
That this love hasn?t died.
Hold me tight, if you know, that this is still alive.
