What Kind Of Love
Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison
That's all I can give
We'll live it the best we can live it, baby
As long as we live
What kind of love never turns you down
what kind of love lifts you off the ground
Turns your life around
What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
and the driving rain
What kind of love runs through your heart with
a pleasure so close to pain
What kind of love
Only this love that I have
I'll show you the best I can show you, baby
That's all I can show you
I'll know you the best I can know you baby
As long as I know you
What kind of love never turns away
what kind of love never makes you pay
Hears you when you pray
What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
and the driving rain
What kind of love runs through your heart with
a pleasure so close to pain
What kind of love
Only this love that I have
This love I know is all I have
This love I have is all I know
So I won't let go
What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
and the driving rain
What kind of love runs through your heart with
a pleasure so close to pain
What kind of love only this love that I have
What kind of love only this love that I have
