That’s what love is for

That’s what love is for

by Paul McCann 

.

 

From the moment that I learned to crawl

to the day I  stood up tall

you helped me take it in my stride

and the pride that I have is you

Mum and Dad 

what  you gave to me

is  a living legacy

and in my heart and  soul

you’re story will be told  

 

 

That’s what love is for

What more can I say

how can I repay

everything you did  

has me taught me how to share

and to be aware

and expect for nothing more

than an answer to my prayer

 

 

 

I turned it over in my mind

just like you said a hundred times

what you seek you’ll surely find

and I’m looking out for you

Mum and Dad

I’m so glad

you are mine

and there’s one thing more

I’m sure you’ll find 

That’s what love is for

 

Your guidance  was  strong and true

And it helped me to pull through

All the hard times that I knew

and all I had was you ,

That’s what love is for

you asked for nothing more

than respect for who we were

I’m so lucky you were there 

 

 

I’ll be the one who will care for you

when you’re unable to ,

go down to the store

or walk across the floor

or knock upon the door

or wash the clothes you wore 

don’t worry anymore

That’s what love is for

 

 like when ever I was bad

or if made you sad

 in this life we’re living

you were always so forgiving

yes that’s what love is for

 

 

I turned it over in my mind

just like you said a hundred times

what you seek you’ll surely find

and I’m looking out for you

Mum and Dad

I’m so glad

you are mine

and there’s one thing more

I’m sure you’ll find 

That’s what love is for .
