Lyrics:
“Woman’s Love”
I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman’s love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never understand
All the little things
That make it grand
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never come face to face
With any thing
That takes the place
Of a woman’s loveWell, I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman’s love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never understand
All the little things
That make it grand
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never come face to face
With any thing
That takes the place
Of a woman’s loveWell I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A woman’s love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never understand
All the little things
That make it grand
A woman’s loveAnd I know
I’ll never come face to face
With any thing
That takes the place
Of a woman’s loveWell I adore it
And thank God for it
A woman’s love…
