Mama's holding on as I was letting go
Not sure where I was heading out on my own
I remember all the power of my father's words
Long after they were spoken
They could still be heard
He said, "Life's not quite as simple out beyond these fields
This world is bound to fail you
But our love never will"
Chorus:
Loving's what living is all about
It's the giving,
Not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're living without loving
We're living without
Loving's what living is all about
Loving's what living is all about
You can ask a dying man
What he'd rather hold
A tender loving hand or a heart of gold
Have you ever seen yourself
In a new born's eyes
I tell you it's enough to make a tough man cry
Have you ever felt the feeling of a lover's touch
There's nothing like the feeling when you fall in love
Chorus:
Loving's what living is all about
It's the giving, not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're living without loving
We're living without
Loving's what living is all about
Loving's what living is all about
Love can bring the sweetiest joy
Love can bring us to tears
Love can lead us through it all
That's the reason we're here
Chorus:
Loving's what living is all about
It's the giving, not the taking
That makes life worth while
When we're living without loving
We're living without
Loving's what living is all about
Loving's what living is all about
