Such Is Love

                                Music and lyrics by Alison Reynolds ©2013

I can still recall so many years ago,

I would hold you so tight.

You would turn to me and say

“Mama let me go,

I’ll be alright!”

So I’d let you go off somewhat on your own

With me gently there by your side

And occasionally when you’d stumble or fall

I’d dry the tears from your eyes.

Such is Love

Oh. . .

All the love in my heart

Anywhere

You may go

Take the love in my heart.

Spending time together we were

Quite a team

We made so many plans.

You were so determined to take on the whole world

And I was your greatest fan.

Though we were having the time of our lives

I knew someday this would all change.

You would move on to find your own life

And I would remain.

Such is Love

Oh. . .

All the love in my heart

Anywhere

You may go

Take the love in my heart.

Now you are a woman with your own

Dreams and plans

And so beautifully strong.

Still you are determined to take on the whole world

And I’m still cheering you on.

No matter where you may go

Or what you may do,

I’ll still be there by your side.

And occasionally should you stumble or fall

I’ll dry the tears from your eyes.

Such is Love

Oh. . .

All the love in my heart

Anywhere

You may go

Take the love in my heart.

Such is Love

Oh. . .

All the love in my heart

Anywhere

You may go

Take the love in my heart.
