Sheena Easton Love Will Make You Wise song lyrics

35 years forever and a day

And it all came down to this

That nothing in this world's gonna last forever

And perfect doesn't exist

But every sleepless nights got to count for something

And it's finally offered up it's prize

Living alone's got to make you stronger... I know

But only love can make you wise

Well I've taken so many wrong turns in my life to come home to this place

With you sleeping here beside me

Your soft hand resting on my face

And when you wake I'll see the very best of me shining right there in your eyes

You need me and that's all I need to know

Your love has made me wise

So I'd sell my soul and stand in line to hold your place in heaven

Cause the day I was blessed by your sacred kiss

I knew that all my sins had already been forgiven

At night I hold my babies to me and whisper in their hair

If there's only so much love to go round

Then I already got my share

I guess I prayed so hard for a miracle that god answered me twice

Yes life has taught me all I needed to know

But love, sweet love... love sweet love

Life will teach you all you need to know

But only love... will make you wise
