Prove My Love
Lucinda Williams · Sweet Old World [1992]
And I have made my share of mine
But if I have to I'll walk the line
Just to prove my love
You know I'd give everything I've got
And I what I'd give would be a lot
I would smooth out all the rough spots
Just to prove my love
Let me prove my love for you
Let me do whatever I can do
Let me show my heart is true
Let me prove my love for you
There was a time way back when
The words we spoke were sweeter then
We can have those times again
Let me prove my love
Let me prove my love for you
Let me do whatever I can do
Let me show my heart is true
Let me prove my love for you
Let me prove my love for you
