Yours Love
Wanda Jackson · The Happy Side Of Wanda [1969]
May the life that I live be yours love
May the best I can give be yours, love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong
And lives on and on be yours love.
May the son that I raise be yours love
May the comforts I praise be yours love
If I ever get weak may the love words I speak
And the arms that I seek be yours love.
May the Lord's shining grace be yours love
May the happiest face be yours love
May the last fingertips that touch these two lips
As life from me slips, be yours love.
As life from me slips, be yours love...
Yours Love
