Labor Of Love Lyrics

Labor of love From the touch of good-bye With the sun in his eyes And the sound of his heart beats like thunder Can a child understand The weakness of a man And the spell that his world puts him under He finds his God is just human He's gotta stand and be brave How can he ever forgive him for taking his innocence away Gonna take a labor of love To forgive and forget A labor of love And all he can give For as long as he lives It's gonna take a labor of love I see myself in your eyes As I leave you here tonight With all your dreams left unspoken I can now understand the courage of a man As I'm facing the promise I've broken You see that I'm only human Your head has feet of clay I hope someday you'll forgive me For stealing your future this way Gonna take a labor of love To forgive and forget A labor of love And all he can give For as long as he lives It's gonna take a labor of love After I let him go I smothered the pain deep inside Now here I stand accused of walking in his shoes I've kept his spirit alive - in me
