My Love Is Your Love
Whitney Houston · The Greatest Hits
And I'm standin' on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if your commin' with me
Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us (x1)
If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me
As the years they pass us by
we stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe
Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us (x1)
If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what the people say
I'll be waiting for you after judgement day
Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us (x2)
