Love Is All
Chantal Kreviazuk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know
What you're leaving behind
I'm not so sure that
I really want to find out
You don't necessarily
Have plenty of time
You can say it now
For the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

I don't know
What was wrong with my mind
I walked around like
I had a force inside and on my heart
Now I feel like
I got plenty of time
Cause I'm safe from the pain
For the rest of my life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all

You can say that for the rest of your life

Love is all you need to live
Then love is all i've got to give
And I give it all

You said it

Love is all you need to live

Then love is all I've got to give
And I give it all
