Love Is All
Marc Anthony · Marc Anthony
so many memories fill my eyes
the first time we kissed
the times we nearly said good-bye
but still here we are
tested and tried and still true
and stronger than we ever knew
[Chorus:]
Love is all
the laughter and the tears that fall
the mundane and the magical
love is all
all is love
the careless word, the healing touch
the getting and the giving of
all is love
there's a me you've always known
the me that's a stranger still
the you that feels like home
and the you that never will
but still here we lie
tender and trusting and true
with everything that we've been through
[Repeat Chorus]
All the glory
all the pain
all the passion
that turns to ashes
only to rise again
[Repeat Chorus]
