Darlin' That's What Your Love Does

(Hugh Prestwood)



Early this morning before you awoke

There was mist on the creek while the cigarette's smoked

And when the sun rose up and burned off the cold

The smoke turned to silver and then turned to gold.



Darlin' that's just what your love does

That's what it does with a kiss

I'm not the man that I just was

Love don't get deeper than this.



When I was young and my daddy was gone

I'd go to sleep with the radio on

Sometimes they'd played such a beautiful song

Me and the Sand Man would sing all night long.



Darlin' that's just what your love does

When you just whispered my name

I'm not the man that I just was

Nothing about me's the same.



Darlin' by this time tomorrow

There's no telling who I might be

Your love just keep changin' me.



And I've come to think that the heart's like a kite

And in the best breeze it still cannot take flight

Until someone ties it and takes it in tow

And it floats around heaven until it lets go.



Darlin' that's just what your love does

That's what it does with a touch

I'm not the man that I just was

Darlin' I need you that much.



Darlin' that's just what your love does

That's what it does with a kiss

I'm not the man that I just was

Love don't get deeper than this...
