Lighten The Load

Love Lightens The Load

By Paul McCann

How many days , I really don’t know ,

how many ways , does a man have to show ,

oh heavens above , I’m in love .

How many tears when no one’s there ,

how many years , I  can’t remember,

it seems to me , endlessly

love lightens the load for me   .

Love without scorn ,

temper the storm and reach out to me .

Turns on the light , give up the fight ,

life is all right , now I can see

love lightens the load for me .

How many signs , have I seen ,

how many times I have dreamed

about people and places , with familiar faces

of those I’ve seen before .

How many scores have been lost ,

how many more pay the cost ,

The greatest command ,

you must  understand

Is to love , give me your hand..

Love without scorn ,

temper the storm and reach out to me .

Turns on the light , give up the fight ,

life is all right , now I can see

love lightens the load for me .
