Lyrics
Living and Breathing Love
©2006 Bill Burnett
Oh my pretty one what can I say
What can I give you Valentine's day
After you've given me life
Birthing my soul by being my wife
Empty handed I'm coming to you
I searched for a token but nothing would do
Oh I could bring forget-me-nots
But they would just wilt, so all that I've got is
Love
Living and breathing love
Love
Living and breathing love
Brown eyes green eyes you and I glide
Making each night a ferris wheel ride
20 years spinning around
In all of that time we've never touched ground
Ah, but lately there's been a new bloom
You sit on the opposite side of the room
All I can say is okay
I'll strap on my banjo and bring a bouquet of
Love
Living and breathing love
Love
Living and breathing love
Oh my pretty one what can I do
How can I make my Valentine new
Each of us does what we must
I open my arms I'm placing my trust in
Love
Living and breathing
Love
Living and breathing
Love
Living and breathing
Love
Living and breathing
Living and breathing marriages last
Living and breathing marriages last
Living and breathing marriages--
