you looked me in the eye
think you started to cry
instead, you just gave a sigh
and told me why...

this Love is Real
that much i Feel
that's The Deal
that ain't no guess
that much i Know
but one thing worries me
about this mess
so i gotta' let 'er show
so you'll know
what it is that's botherin' me

it's your drinkin'

'cause when you do
that ain't you
i see sinkin'
slidin' & glidin' away
you seem to go off your own way
and it scares me that's where you'll stay

so for this Love to last
give up that past
that part a' you
that really ain't you
it's someone i don't know
when you go
off slinkin' & stinkin'
that person who comes when you been drinkin'

so i looked you back in the eye
and said "my oh my...
i never want to make you cry..."
so the booze
i'll lose
that i do choose
if you'll Love me 'till i die

so one day at a time
i'll pass on the wine
forget the whisky & beer
that's fine
long as i know you're mine
long as i have you near

'cause drinkin' ain't nuthin'
compared to the sumpin'
you & i have found
this Love's sound
might be my last go 'round

it's Love that's true s
it's Our Love i Choose
for ever & always
i want you to stays
and we'll live & give
Love & Laughter
Happily Ever After
