Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Except to God
Never felt I could call anywhere home
Till I fell asleep here in your arms
I never thought I'd fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace
Sometimes God calls out to me to come home
â??Cause I feel so alone
Then I taste your kiss
Your touch your sweet loveÂ
I never thought I'd fall in loveÂ
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heartÂ
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving graceÂ
I never thought I'd fall in loveÂ
I never thought I'd fall in love with you
Your love is my only saving grace
You caress my heartÂ
Kiss my face
Your love is my only saving grace your love.
